11 forms of Natiyam
Thematic presentation "Arangadukathai"
Alliyam story
Kamsa, the maternal uncle of Lord Krishna (an avatar of Lord Vishnu), conspires* to kill Krishna by
sending an elephant in musth. Lord Krishna, using “Maya”, deceives and confuses the elephant,
breaks its tusks and kills it. He performs a dance as he is killing it and this is the “Alliyam” Natyam.
*Kamsa is afraid of a curse that he will be killed by the
eighth child of his sister Vasuki. Lord Krishna is the eighth child.
