Greenix Village, Kochi Overview

Situated 8 km off Ernakulam is the Greenix village where various art forms of Kerala are practiced and developed. Every evening witnesses a mixed performance of Kathakali- the dance drama form of Kerala, Kalaripayattu- an aesthetic martial art form, audio-visual history at the in-house museum and Indian classical music in this cultural centre.

Yoga trainings are conducted every morning. The premises also house an art gallery, restaurant, a curio shop, book shop and rooms for researchers and trainees.

Architecture of the Greenix Village

The Greenix Village, which was once a warehouse for a tea factory built by the Portuguese, has now been renovated according to the traditional Kerala architecture. The interiors of the building that also houses the idol of Natarajan and a mandapam situated in the far end of the hall, give the structure a very temple-like feel to it. It also has different statues that showcase different art forms. The paintings exhibited in the Greenix Village portray the various mudras (hand gestures) and navarasams (nine expressions) that are considered to be of great importance in Kathakali performances. The village also gives a platform for various live dance performances including Kathakali, Theyam, Kalaripayattu and Mohiniattam.
