Six women, part of a 34-member tourist group from the state, performed the traditional dance form on Wednesday, turning the world-famous spot into a stage that celebrated Kerala's rich cultural heritage.

Their graceful movements drew the attention of onlookers and spread the festive cheer far beyond home.

In preparation for their trip to China, organised by Kannur-based travel company 'Kannur Safari', the group of travellers created a WhatsApp group to stay connected and share ideas.
