DESCRIPTION
This volume includes the first English translation of the Kutiyattam Drama "Subhadra-Dhananjaya," a Sanskrit drama composed some 900 years ago by King Kulasekhara Varman. Also included are the Sanskrit text of the drama, and a Sanskrit commentary on it, as well as essays by Drs. Unni and Sullivan about this drama and Kutiyattam, a performance tradition sacred to Hindus in Kerala, southern India. Traditionally these dramas were performed in Hindu temples as devotional offerings to the deity. This translation and study has been done in the hope that Others will become interested in this tradition.
