The Tashkent Agreement was signed between India and Pakistan. It was a peace agreement signed on January 10, 1966, in Tashkent (now in Uzbekistan) under the mediation of the Soviet Union. The agreement was signed by Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and Pakistani President Ayub Khan. The Tashkent Agreement aimed to bring an end to the armed conflict between India and Pakistan that occurred during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. The agreement called for a ceasefire, withdrawal of forces to pre-war positions, and the release of prisoners of war.

Its present form, designed exclusively for the female dancer, is however, a recent creation inspired by the living matrix of Kerala’s social ensemble dances performed on festive occa sions like Kaikottikali and Thiruvathirakali, and Nangyar Kootu, The female component of the highly stylized Kudiyattam, a souviour of Sanskrit theatre. The word, Mohini, occurs in an eighteenth-century Malayalam commentary of the Vyavah¯aram¯ala composed two hundred years earlier by Mazhamangalam Narayanan Nambudiri. Much later, the creator of Ottam Thullal, Kunjan Nambiar in his Goshayatra mentions Mohiniyattam.

Kalyanikuttyamma, Kunjukuttyamma, Kanak Rele are some of the great dancers of Mohiniyattam.- CUET (UG) - 2025
