Krishnanattam, a temple art

Krishnanattam or Krishnattam is a temple art, now performed at Guruvayur Temple in the Indian state of Kerala. The performance is based on Krishnagiti, a text of slokas and padams in Sanskrit, composed by Manaveda, the Zamorin King of Calicut, in 1654. Krishna’s story as described in detail in the Tenth and Eleventh Cantos of Srimad Bhagavatha, Mahabharata and Harivamsa is presented as song, dance and acting in a cycle of eight plays in eight days.
