Kaikottikali or Thiruvathira kali is a traditional folk dance of Kerala, a state in India. The name "Kaikottikali" translates to "dance with clapping hands" in English. It is predominantly performed by women during festive occasions and cultural gatherings.
In this dance form, women stand in a circular formation and clap their hands in a rhythmic pattern while moving in graceful steps. The dancers form patterns and interweave their movements, creating an enchanting visual spectacle. The dance is accompanied by traditional Malayalam songs, usually with themes of love, nature, and devotion.
The dancers typically wear traditional attire, including white or off-white sarees with golden borders, and adorn themselves with jewelry and flowers. The synchronized clapping of hands and the rhythmic footwork showcase the unity and harmony of the performers.
Kaikottikali is not only a form of entertainment but also a means of cultural expression, strengthening community bonds, and preserving traditional art forms. It embodies the rich heritage and vibrant spirit of Kerala's folk traditions, making it an integral part of the cultural landscape of the region.
