Porattukali or porattunadakam is an art form that originated in the Palakkad district of Kerala and is performed by the Panar community which is an underprivileged caste. It has been in existence for around 170 years and yet is unfamiliar to the best part of the state’s population in a state where the caste system still determines the boundaries of people’s lives to a large extent, a segregation that extends to even their art forms.
