Mahila Yakshagana. ( Women's Troupe )
Yakshagana has largely been a male-dominated art, wherein even female characters are played by men. The All Women's Troupe of Karnataka Kala Darshini has demonstrated that the equations can be reversed. Characters like 'Dushasana, Drona, Bhishma, Kamsa and Bhima are performed by women, who have brought out the essence of these characters in full grandeur.

Headed by K. Gowri, the team consists of several enthusiastic ladies viz., Girija, Latha. V, Asha Raghavendra, Ambika, Kanthi, Mayuri, Veena, Uma Parameshwar, Kamala Sundu, Rekha and young high school and college girls viz., Anusha Suresh, Ranjini, Laxmi, Sindu Pawar, Bindu Pawar, Kadambari, Sindhu, etc.


.. The team has performed not only in Karnataka but also in Delhi, Thanjavur, Nagpur, etc apart from presenting several programs in Dooradarshan and All India Radio. They have participated in Yakshagana serials on Udaya TV and ETV Kannada.
