Art Gallery

The Art-Gallery

The art-gallery was established in 2001. Kerala has a rich tradition of diverse art forms. Most of the art forms are unique and related to religion, their worship and rituals. It exhibits effigies of various characters from kathakali, and other performing arts, in full costume. Sculptures of various art forms are made of fibre. The exquisitely made beautiful sculptures representing Kathakali, Kutiyattam, Mohiniyattom and Thullal greet the visitors. Through it has not been possible to showcase all the forms of Kathakali and Kutiyattam in the art gallery, facial paintings in miniature are on display. These mannequins were sculped by Kerala’s renowed artist Namboothiri. For a novice, a visit to the gallery would be educational and inspiring. The famous historian Namboothiri has given shape and expression besides hand – gestures to the fiber sculptures.
