Ottam Thullal

👉 Ottam Thullal is a dance-drama performing art form of Kerala, created by Kunchan Nambiar, as an alternative to the Chakyar koothu.

👉Kunchan Nambiar used it as a medium to protest against the prevalent socio-political structure and prejudices of the society in his time.It went on to become the most popular folk
art presented in Kerala temples.

👉The distinguishing factor of Ottan thullal is the performer himself singing and playing the story, which is a tedious task. Another person will recite the same verses.

👉The accompanying instruments for Ottan thullal are Mridangam and Idakka.
