The Hanuma Vesha in #Yakshagana is used for #ape-like characters—#Hanuman, Vali, Sugreeva, Jambavana, and so on. Between the characters, different headgears & colours are used. For instance, black is used in the #costume for Sugreeva but never for Hanumantha. Hanumantha—seen in this video—in fact, has a distinct #headgear. An interesting aspect of Yakshagana costumes is that the clothes and #props also play a #role. In the Hanuma Vesha category, Hanumantha is the only character who gets a tail.
