The Red Gods

Theyyam is a vibrant and colorful form of ritualistic worship that is deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of Kerala, India. This living tradition involves elaborate rituals, music, dance, and vibrant costumes that bring to life the divine spirits being invoked. Each Theyyam performance is unique, featuring different deities, stories, and rituals. The performers, who are typically men from specific communities, undergo rigorous training and preparation before they are allowed to participate in the ritual. Theyyam is not just a form of worship but also a way of preserving the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Kerala.
