The Kathakali Krore

This striking wall installation features a vibrant Kathakali mask, a centerpiece that celebrates the rich classical dance heritage of Kerala. The mask depicts the noble “Pacha” character, characterized by its bright green face, bold red lips, and a towering, multi-tiered golden headdress embellished with colorful stones and intricate patterns. It is mounted within a deeply ornate, hand-carved wooden frame that showcases exquisite floral and vine motifs, flanked by miniature architectural pillars that evoke the grandeur of traditional South Indian temples. Adorned with a fresh garland of jasmine and marigold, and illuminated by the warm glow of symmetrical golden wall sconces against a deep navy blue background, this piece serves as a majestic focal point that blends ancient storytelling with sophisticated interior design.
