India's got talent!!!! So true when I watched great artists performing at Punarjani Traditional Village - both shows - Kathakali Fusion and Kalarippayattu(Traditional martial art). Mesmerizing experience and also a great job on crowd involvement. Leaving the place, I felt like a proud Indian!!

We were doing a Kerala tour and wanted our teenage son to get exposure to local culture. The driver we had recommended tickets to the KATHAKALI performance and the Kalaripayattu martial arts performance at Punarjani. Both performances were packed and the performances on both were very good and entertaining. I only give 4 stars and not 5 because they kept stuffing people into the KATHAKALI performance to the point that it raised safety concerns, there was too much “rock” in the performance - some was innovative but it was overdone. Overall had a great experience. The martial arts demo was excellent!

We made the most of our visit by combining an Aurvedic masssge with seeing the Kathkali show too. All the staff were incredibly attentive and charming. The energy and whole concept of the Punarjani Traditional Village is wonderful

There are two performances; one is kathakali, a traditional dance form, the other is kalaripayattu, traditional martial arts. We saw the kathakali performance. The costumes and makeup are mostly traditional. But the music is modern, and the finale, which is heavy metal kathakali while the performers are flashing mudras, is worth the price of admission, in fact we would come back to this area just to see this show again. If you like unusual fusion of art forms, you won't want to miss this.

I actually had no intention of going to any dance performance. But our driver had other ideas by buying the tickets and driving us there! We really had no idea of what to expect and were prepared to be bored. How wrong can you be? From the start of the music we were hooked! The skill and expressions of all actors was breathtaking. We didn’t understand of course but somehow “got it”? One of the team made eye contact during her very emotional piece and the tears just flowed. That shocked me. There were so many emotions conveyed to the spellbound audience and silence throughout. At the end most of the audience was on stage having photos with their favourite and I wish I had done so too but that British reserve just stopped me. My husband videotaped most of it so we will be watching again. Thank you to all the amazing actors for such an unexpected experience. We also watched the martial arts which was very skilful but not really for us!

We went to watch the artistic fighting show „Kallarippayattu“. The show and the artists was breathtaking. The stunts were very well performed and the professionalism was visible. The only nitpick is that I did not very well understand what the „introducer“ was saying over the microphone. However the show was very exciting and recommendable

The kalaripayattu martial arts performance was amazing. As a native to Kerala, I thought I wouldn't enjoy it. But, I definitely did. Especially the fire and sparks show towards the end. It's worth watching atleast once. The only downside is that the ticket counter person was not very helpful.

Wonderful experience for an evening in Munnar. Kathakali, Mohiniattam and Bharatnatyam dances in one hour show. This was truly amazing. Martial art show by local youth energetic boys was quite involving and presented very well. Must visit when in Munnar

My cab driver took us to Punarjani Traditional village. What a performance and Kerala gives so much value and keep the tradition going in the form of Kathakali, Kalaripayattu dance forms. Terrific performance which glues the audience for good 2 hours . Felt it should be more but whatever that’s off to the organisers to keep it live and appealing to all the sections of audience .
