Can enjoy the cultural show but not an exciting event to watch. The show is very expensive than a movie in a multiplex theatre...!! It doesn't hold the interest of audience for longer time .................................................................................................. More

The performance was aimed at tourists, and began with the performers putting on their elaborate makeup on stage for us to watch, and then gave a demonstration of the methods of telling the story by facial expressions and body language. A wonderful introduction to a unique performance style More
