Mohiniyattam
Mohiniyattam, also spelled ''Mohiniattam'' ((マラヤーラム語:മോഹിനിയാട്ടം)), is a classical dance form from Kerala, India. Believed to have originated in 16th century CE,〔(Mohiniyattam ), The first reference to Mohiniyattam is found in 'Vyavaharamala' composed by Mazhamangalam Narayanan Namboodiri, of 16th century AD.〕 it is one of the eight Indian classical dance forms recognized by the Sangeet Natak Akademi. It is considered a very graceful form of dance meant to be performed as solo recitals by women.
==Etymology==
The term Mohiniyattam comes from the words "Mohini" meaning a woman who enchants onlookers and "aattam" meaning graceful and sensuous body movements. The word "Mohiniyattam" literally means ''"dance of the enchantress"''. There are two arguments on the etymology of this dance form. One being the historical lineage and the other being the mythological lineage. According to historical lineage it says that similar to most other classical dance forms of India, this dance form too was once practiced in some of the temples in India and was later brought out to the common audience where it went through numerous stages of changes. Then the mythical lineage is explained with two stories of the Lord Vishnu disguised as a Mohini. In one, he appears as Mohini to lure the asuras (demons) away from the amrita (nectar of immortality) obtained during the churning of the palazhi (ocean of milk and salt water).
In the second story Vishnu appears as Mohini to save Lord Shiva from the demon Bhasmasura. The name Mohiniyattam may have been coined after Lord Vishnu; the main theme of the dance is love and devotion to God, with usually Vishnu or Krishna being the hero. Devadasis used to perform this in temples. It also has elements of Koothu and Kottiyattom. Mohiniyattam is a drama in dance and verse.
