Kathakali

This Kathakali troupe in Kochi performed a nice story from the Mahabharata named 'Kiratham' or so I was told. It went along the lines of "Conceited prince Arjuna (?)is out hunting-Lord Shiva, disguised as the hunter Kiratha, decides to cleanse Arjuna of his pride-Arjuna resists, until he realizes he's really dealing with Lord Shiva-Arjuna repents and becomes good-The End". The photos unfortunately don't convey much of the story...
