The audience enjoying the Bharathanatyam at Vadakkekkara Kattathururth Nambiath Bhadrakali temple yesterday thought falling down of dancer Omanakuttan on the stage was all part of the performance, local media reports said.
However, his Guru Sivan Malyankara who noticed Omanakkuttan suddenly losing his footing and falling down stopped the performance and directed to pull down the curtain, it said.
Omanakuttan was rushed to a private hospital in Paravur but was declared brought dead.
Local TV channels aired the video purportedly showing the dancer collapsing during the stage performance.
