MARG MAGAZINE Mohini Attam  Vol. 11 Issue no. 1; December 1957, p. 54 Parallel to Bharata Natyam in Tamil Nadu, is Mohini Attam in Kerala.  Performed solo by a woman (though in the past men also performed),  Mohini Attam combines nrita (pure dance), nritya (expression), and  elements of Kathakali. Named after the mythological seductress Mohini,  the dance is graceful and sensuous, and is accompanied by classical  Carnatic music in Malayalam. The dancer wears a white sari held by  a gold belt and her hair is adorned with a circlet of jasmine flowers.  Make-up is simple with the eyes emphasized, and traditional Kerala  jewellery is worn.

The dance is mainly secular in its primary inspiration. Doraiswamy, Y.G. The Charm of Mohini...
