Visual artist Taarika John has released an illustrated book titled 'Sacred Rhythms, Painted Faces,' celebrating 10 classical art forms of Kerala. The book, featuring striking jewel tones, aims to introduce children and adults to art forms like Mohiniyattam, Kathakali, and Panchavadyam. John conducted extensive research, consulting experts and performance videos, to accurately depict these traditions, building on her previous '100 Days of Kerala' Instagram series.
