Getting the category name inside index.php was created by Vassilis Vouvonikos

Hello, I am using K2 for joomla 1.7 and I am developing my own template.
I want to get the category name inside index.php so i can give an appropriate css class to the <body> whenever I am viewing an item or an itemlist. Any suggestions on this?

Hello Andrey,

Thanks for the help. I managed to do it for items and single category view, but what if i want to display more than one category? How can I get both categories?
