PARICHAMUTTU KALI
The performers dance with swords and shields in their hands. The movements of sword fight, leaping forward, stepping back and moving round, all the time striking with the swords and defending with shields.
This is martial folk-dance which had its origin during the day when kalaripayattu, the famous physical exercise of swordplay and defence, was in vogue in Kerala. .
