Summary, etc A casteist remark by a Kerala-based Mohiniyattam performer, trained at the prestigious Kerala Kalamandalam, sparked public outrage in Kerala, leading the National Human Rights Commission to initiate legal action. In light of this controversy, this article attempts to trace the development of Mohiniyattam, showcasing its evolution from a stigmatised tradition to a classical dance form of Kerala. In addition to being a gendered art form, it also plays a crucial role in shaping various perceptions concerning caste, beauty, colour, and social standing. - Reproduced
