Theyyam Festival in Kannur,India

  • Photographer
    S Devarajan, India

Theyyam is a ritual art form so ancient it predates Hinduism (500 BCE), though it has since adapted to include Hindu elements. It’s believed to be thousands of years old, from a time when tribal animism was the most common form of worship. These roots are still evident: trees, plants, and animals are worshipped alongside Hindu gods in Theyyam rituals. Some rituals involve blood sacrifices.

I have been an Amateur photographer for many years now and this is the first time I am participating in the PX3 Prix.
