A group of artistes in Tirupathur have been performing and teaching ‘Theru Koothu’ for years.
With menacing moustaches, heavy make-up, colourful dresses and a handful dressed as female mythological characters, a few men wait behind a stage to perform at Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami's public meeting in Tirupathur on Wednesday. Around them stand a group of children, looking at their attire with curiosity.
