The festival was an attempt to capture the essence of Thullal in its visual, rhythmic and musical diversity. Thullal, conceived and composed by the inimitable wordsmith Kalakkath Kunchan Nambiar in the 18th century, is a solo dance and theatre narrative. It is against this background that a three-day festival of Thullal was held in Edappally recently. Of the three forms of Thullal, Seethankan, Ottan and Parayan, the maiden performance of Kalyanasaugandhikam, is believed to have been choreographed as Seethankan..
