Velakali Dance of Kerala post card

This is Velakali Dance of  Kerala post card in my collection.

It is performed to commemorate the victory of Pandavas over Kauravas. It is basically a martial dance performed to the accompaniment of trumpets, kettle drums and war cries. This Velakali stamp was released on 30th April, 1991.
