Kathakali & Kalaripayattu: The center hosts daily hour-long shows of Kathakali (classical dance-drama) and Kalaripayattu (ancient martial arts). Reviewers often highlight the energetic and precise movements in the martial arts show, which sometimes includes breathtaking stunts involving fire and weaponry.

Behind-the-Scenes Access: One of the most unique aspects mentioned by visitors is the ability to arrive early (typically 30 minutes before the show) to watch the Kathakali artists undergo their laborious makeup and costuming process.

Educational Introductions: Performances often begin with a short explanation of the “mudras” (hand gestures) and facial expressions used in the dance, helping the audience follow the story more effectively.

Show Times & Tickets: Shows typically run in the evening, with Kalaripayattu slots often at 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Tickets are generally affordable, ranging from ₹200 to ₹300 per person, and can be purchased at the box office or sometimes through local tour operators.
