This is one of the oldest folk arts of Tamil Nadu.Both men and women perform this. Men dress like a King and women dress like a Queen. It is called as poikal kuthirai( dummy horse) because the performers tie wooden Legs and get into the decorated dummy horse made for the performance.
Facial expressions,to and fro movement of the house,the swiftness with which the dance is performed adds beauty to this art form. This is one folk art Which is appreciated and enjoyed by the people of all ages.
Thank you.
This is the most popular folk art,Karakattam is a small metal pot which is filled with grains.This pot is decorated in the shape of a cone with flowers and zari.The top of the cone is decorated mostly like a parrot or a peacock.The performer balances this decorated pot on his/ her head and dances to the rthym and music.This is performed during temple festivals and processions.
On 15th of August 1947, India won her independence from the British. We celebrate the day every year as Independence Day.
On this day our Prime Minister hoists the National Flag at the Red Fort and the Chief Ministers hoists the flag in their state Capitals. Every one wears a small Indian flag on this day. All institutions across the Country,including your school,hoist the national Flag and salute it with Pride.
On this day We remember all the Indians Who laid their lives for the Country.
