A
kaikottikali dance
💡 Explanation:
Kaikottikali (also called Thiruvathirakali) is a traditional women's dance performed during Onam, where dancers clap each other's palms while circling the pookalam. Kathakali is a classical dance-drama, not a simple clapping dance. Thiruvathirakali is a related dance form. 'Kaikottikali' is the specific Onam clapping dance.
