He reached around 1915 hrs and interacted with the Kathakali artist and also found time to pose for a photo session along with the artist, who performed the Kathakali, and then witnessed the arts form along with AICC Organising General secretary K C Veungopal, Renowned Malayalam writer MT Vasudevan Nair, Mathrubumi Daily newspaper Managing Director M V Sreyams Kumar, its Editor P V Chandran and Dr P Madhava Varrier.

MT Vasudevan Nair, K C Venugopal, Sreyams Kumar, have also been admitted at AVS during the Malayalam month Karkidakkam chikithsa (treatment), near the rooms, where Rahul Gandhi was admitted at AVS, Kottakkal.

Rahul writes on Facebook as " Thoroughly enjoyed an enthralling performance of Kathakali by PVS and also got the opportunity to visit the Sri Viswambara temple".
