Yakshagana
Yakshagana is a traditional theatre form in the coastal south India. It combines music, dance, story. costume, grandeur, a unique style of dialogue delivery.

Yakshagana word stands for Yaksha - Spirit and Gana - Song. It is the song of the spirits.

The language used in this form of theatre is "TULU". it is a native language spoken by a small pocket of people in south India.

The theatre starts late in the evening and continues till dawn. It is a marathon 10-12 hours of dancing, singing and music extravaganza.

This photo was taken on 22nd June, 2017 as a part of talent show organised by the rotary club of a small town in south India. The artist below is my friend an Insurance professional and not a theatre artist. This was just a costume show.

Interesting to know that Yakashagaana finds its origin in the coastal belt dating back to 16th century.  ಶಿವರಾಮ ಕಾರಂತ popularized it to a great extent by experimenting with various forms.

@foodie.warrior. Yes. Moustache is real 😊
 It is a dress up for a theatre play, the Yakshagana.
