@dsourceindia This Kathakali performance is a design resource from IIT Guwahati featuring Guru Sadanam Balakrishnan in the roles of Kichaka and Draupadi. The video depicts a dramatic conversation between Kichaka and Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, drawn from the epic Mahabharata, where Kichaka desires Draupadi and she firmly refuses him. Born in 1944 in Taliparamba, North Kerala, Guru Sadanam Balakrishnan showed a deep interest in Kathakali from childhood and has received numerous awards and honours for his lifelong contribution to the art form.
