Narakasuravadham (The Slaying of Narakasura) is an Aattakatha (Kathakali play) authored by Dharma Raja in Malayalam.
Based on the Bhagavatam, it narrates the tale of the rise to power of the demon king Narakasura.
Narakasura sends his servant, the demoness Nakrathundi to heaven to capture some divine damsels.
Nakrathundi, in the process, gets smitten by Indra's son, Jayantha, and approaches him with amorous requests.
Nakrathundi rushes back to Narakasura, who is infuriated, and decides to avenge her by attacking heaven.
