Theyyam is a spectacular art form that is particularly popular in Northern Kerala. It aims at retelling the great legends of old with its vibrant hues and ritualistic movements. Temples across the State have these performances regularly and it has become an integral part of the very cultural fabric of God’s Own Country. Today, these events draw crowds in the thousands, watching great artisans bringing our old heroes to life.
