Chakyar and Nangyaramma
Traditionally, Koodiyattam has been presented by Chakyars.[1] The name Koodiyattam as its name suggests is a combined performance of Chakyar and Nangyar. Traditionally Mizhavu, a special percussion instrument was the only instrument used in Koodiyattam performances. Off late Edakka, another traditional drum has also been used as accompaniment. Chakyar is the main actor who performs the ritualistic Koothu and Koodiyattam inside the temple or in the Koothambalam. Their women ,Illotammas are not allowed to participate. The female roles are done by ladies of Nambiar community called Nangyaramma.Traditionally, a person belonging to Nambiar plays the Mizhavu. Nangyaramma accompany Nambiar with kuzhithalam(a type of cymbal). Chakyar is a sub-caste of Pushpaka Brahmin (Ampalavasi)caste of Brahmins in Kerala. ...

Late Natyacharya Vidushakaratnam Padmasree Guru Mani Madhava Chakyar has been the face of this art form to the modern world. He was the actor of supreme kind famous for his extra ordinary mastery over Rasa Abhinaya with special reference to Netrābhinaya.
