Guru &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Chenganoor Raman Pillai&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, also spelt &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Chengannur Raman Pillai&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1886–1980), was a celebrated [[Kathakali]] artist from [[Kerala]] in south [[India]]. He was known for his brilliant portrayal of the anti-heroic Kathi roles on stage, and was the head of palace kathakali yogam to the [[Travancore]] Maharaja in a career spanning almost 65 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raman Pillai, born in [[Chenganoor]] on 16 January 1886, was a specialist in the Kathakali southern style called [[Kapplingad]], which gives prominence to [[abhinaya]] (acting). He wrote &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Thekkan Chittayilulla Abhyasa Kramangal&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, considered one of the major training manuals on southern-style Kathakali.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a disciple of Thakazhi Kesava Panikker, Mathur Kunhupilla Panikker and Ambalappuzha Kunhikrishna Panikker. Another Kathakali master, Chennthala Kochupillai Panikker, helped him to gain popularity in his art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raman Pillai had his masterpieces in roles like [[Duryodhana]]n, [[Ravana]]n and Keechakan, Jarasandhan, [[Banasura|Bana]]n and [[Kamsa]]n. He also performed as Hanuman, Hamsam and the black-bearded Kaatalan (woodsman).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raman Pillai&amp;#039;s leading disciples include [[Madavoor Vasudevan Nair]], [[Haripad Ramakrishna Pillai]], [[Mankompu Sivasankara Pillai]], [[Guru Gopinath]], and Chennithala Chellappan Pillai. They all studied under him as per the [[Gurukul]]a system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
