Mohini Attam - A wonderful dance performance


Mohini Attam, is a dance of an enchantress who causes havoc and destruction to the wicked and great delight and pleasure to the good. Thus, Mohini stands for a kind of delusion, enchantment or infatuation resulting from the vision of a dazzling beauty. This is a dance named after this mythological beauty, because it is solo performance given by a woman alone and reigns supreme in grace, enchantment and pure aesthetic pleasure.
