Dance

Kazhaikoothu

This  is a dance performed by standing on bamboo poles.  A specimen of this occurs in bas-relief sculptured in the Sri Andal Temple at Srivilliputhur. The dancer balances himself standing on two poles, each two meters long, dancing to the accompaniment of a two-faced drum played by his wife.
