7.00 pm Kathakali (Subhadraharanam)
It derives from the same legendary story of Arjun and Subhadra. Arjun learns about Subhadra's love for him and elopes with her dressed as a mendicant. Lord Krishna's brother Balaram is furious as he intended their sister to marry Kaurav Prince Duryodhan. Krishna convinces Balaram that it was not Arjun who eloped but Subhadra who eloped with Arjun! As he'd asked Arjun to let Subhadra have the reins of her chariot as they left. Balaram is however convinced only when Krishna takes him to show the place where Arjun defeated a warrior Viphudi in battle. Of course, Krishna does not let on that he himself had asked Viphudi to attack Arjun for the sole purpose of showcasing Arjun's valour!

It is derived from the epic Ramayana. Rama and Lakshman are told by Sugreev that if they help him defeat his brother Bali he and his army of monkeys will help him fight Ravana who has abducted Rama's wife Sita. Sugreeva points out that Bali, too, kidnapped his wife. Rama agrees and tells Sugreev to call Bali to battle. During the battle Rama shoots an arrow from his hiding place killing Bali. Bali is distraught at what he sees as duplicity but then Rama reveals himself as the avatar of Lord Vishnu and Bali dies peacefully
