In this dance called Kurathiyattom, two Kurathis first enter in the dancing scenario, representing the wives of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva and then the performance begins. The dance proceeds with the controversy through songs over the exploitations of their respective husbands. The favorable point in case of one`s favor becomes the point of ridicule at the other`s hands and while one praises profusely the other condemns sarcastically. This is the general tone of the song.
