| Description |
| Kathakali from Kerala is a classical dance drama. It is quiet different from any other forms of Indian dances such as Bharata Natyam, Odissi, Kathak, Kuchipudi etc; Kathakali is dramatic rather than narrative in character. Different roles are taken by different characters. It takes epic mythological themes as its content and portrays them through an elaborate dramatic spectacle which is characterized by an other worldly quality, a supernatural grandeur, a stylized over-size costume to give the impression of enlarging human proportion and a mask like make-up on the face which is governed by a complex symbolism of colour line and design.
A se-tenent pair, one of which depicting Kathakali was released on 26-4-2002. A Japanese dance form Kabuki is the other stamp in the pair.
