Even to\nthis day, it has a huge significance in the daily lives Keralites in India \u2013\nseveral festivals, events, and temple ceremonies follow this calendar. Similar\nto the Gregorian calendar, Kollavarsham follows 12 months a year, and 7 days a\nweek. However, one of the several things that make the Kollavarsham unique is\nthe 27 Nakshatras (following Hindu astrology). In many ways, since its origins,\nthe calendar has ingrained itself as a major form of communication in the\nlivelihoods of its people. For instance, agriculture (which makes up a huge\npart of Keralite culture) derives its monsoon names from the calendar \u2013 the northeast\nmonsoon (thulavarsham) means \u201crain in the month of thulam.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div class=\"ttfmake-embed-wrapper aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 960px;\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"foby6prG30\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerala.me\/language\/malayalam-calendar\">Malayalam Calendar<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kerala.me\/language\/malayalam-calendar\/embed#?secret=foby6prG30\" data-secret=\"foby6prG30\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Malayalam Calendar&#8221; &#8212; Kerala\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>http:\/\/kollavarsham.tumblr.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kathakali Dance:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"220\" height=\"332\" src=\"http:\/\/commtech.nyuad.im\/homework\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/220px-Kathakali_BNC.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-584\" srcset=\"http:\/\/commtech.nyuad.im\/homework\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/220px-Kathakali_BNC.jpg 220w, http:\/\/commtech.nyuad.im\/homework\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/220px-Kathakali_BNC-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kathakali is a classical dance form originating from Kerala, India. While the development of this art form is unclear, it emerged in popular culture sometime during the 16th and 17th centuries. More than just being a dance, Kathakali is an art of storytelling. It combines several artistic elements \u2013 dance, drama, music, costumes, and makeup \u2013 to convey the story. According to the Kerala Kalamandalam, \u201cthe 24 hand-gestures the Kathakali actor has, developed a language comprising of more than 600 words.\u201d This is supported by the large variety of different rhythms, tempos, facial expressions, and body movements. Most of the stories this particular art form conveys are epics from Hindu literature (Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Puranas). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>https:\/\/www.culturalindia.net\/indian-dance\/classical\/kathakali.html <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>https:\/\/www.outlookindia.com\/outlooktraveller\/travelnews\/story\/66990\/the-art-of-kathakali <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>http:\/\/www.kalamandalam.org\/ontraditionalarts.asp#1 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>https:\/\/www.culturalindia.net\/indian-dance\/classical\/kathakali.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kollavarsham (Malayalam Calendar) Originating in 825AD, Kollavarsham (the Malayalam calendar) is a solar and sidereal Hindu calendar used in Kerala, India.
