Dance dramas (natya) use masks and crowns to represent characters vividly. A Hanuman mask signifies power and devotion in Ramayana-based dances, while a queen’s crown symbolizes royalty in historical performances. These props help the audience immediately recognize roles, adding clarity and visual impact. In Kathakali, elaborate headgear and face paint bring mythical characters to life. Such accessories are essential for storytelling in classical and folk dance dramas.
