Due to Covid-19 lockdown, the Pulikkali dancing tigers will reach residents’ homes through online for an hour from 3.30 p.m. on the fourth Onam day.
Pulikkali is a tiger dance and it is a colourful part of Onam celebrations in Thrissur, Kerala.
The hallmark street pageant of the Kerala’s cultural capital usually brings the curtains down on the festival celebrations.
Human tigers, their bodies painted bright yellow with black stripes akin to the big cat, prance around to the accompaniment of rousing drum beating and roaring fans.
The tiger faces painted on their bellies vibrate rhythmically, producing contorted expressions along with the dance moves.
