This book, perhaps the first illustrated dictionary of its kind, is a compilation of the terms used in Kathakali. It attempts as wide a coverage as would be relevant and useful to students, scholars and enthusiasts of the art for whom it is chiefly intended. Explanations are simple and where necessary, clearly illustrated. Headwords recur in the entry, with diacritical marks to help correct pronunciation.
