Khon Dance in 1931


I am doing some research for an adaptation of Ramayana and find this intriguing video of Thai Classical Khon in 1931. And it blows me away.

Brief explanation: Indrachit, a son of Totsakan, is called for a battle with Laxman. He transforms himself as Indra and rides Erawan Elephant. Hanuman fights and beheads its neck.
