Yakshagana
Yakshagana is a traditional theatre, developed in Dakshina Kannada, that combines dance, music, dialogue, costume, make-up, and stage techniques with a unique style and form. Its stories are drawn from Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavata and other epics from both Hindu and Jain and other ancient Indic traditions.
Yakshagana is traditionally presented from dusk to dawn. However, at Sai Vishram, we have worked with local performers and present a highly condensed version of the art form.
