Description :The vachika in Kutiyattam, be it prose or verse, is presented in a particular cadence. The sound pattern of the Chakyar has no correspondence to realistic sounds; noris it meant to have any resemblance. The characters in Kutiyattam express their emotions not by imitating the mode of speech in real life. On the other hand, the musical style in Kutiyattam enhances the rasabhinaya of the actor through the medium of vachika, with the powerful exploitation of the technique of suggestion.
