Kerala is known to be the epicentre of almost all the ancient forms of art, because of the popular belief that it is the god’s own domain. So it is totally natural, whether the gorgeous physical flexibility in its dance form is concerned or the blue and green palm trees. We can call it the grace of god that man has taken the full advantage of its natural beauty. There are numerous folklore institutions as well as kala academies that make the art of this state popular worldwide and proved that it is indeed the most talented of all in the country and people here are selfless in imparting the knowledge of their art which is contrary to what others do. The antique art forms are considered to be a gift from God to the citizens of Kerala. Kerala has rich and inherent beauty and people can easily connect with the exotic and marvellous heritage of the state and this is the reason why numerous autonomous bodies are being resurrected with a firm belief that the rich art and culture should be shared with everyone interested in it.
