An offshoot of Kutiyattam, it is a solo performance with an antiquity of 1500 years. Nangiarkoothu is the sole domain of female artistes known as Nangiars, the female members of the Chakiyar community. The stories for the performance are taken from the text Sree Krishna Charitam, depicting the life of Lord Krishna. During the performance the actress presents the longwinded stories of Lord Krishna through hand gestures, facial expression, and body movements to the accompaniment of the resonant Mizhavu.
Margi Sathi, one of the finest exponents of Nangiarkoothu, displays the beauty and grandeur of this 1500-year-old solo female enactment of Kutiyattam. She is a senior faculty member of Margi, Thiruvananthapuram; a premier centre for preserving the traditional classical art forms of Kerala.
