Theyyam - The other God

Theyyam are Hindu ritualistic dance forms practiced in northern Kerala and some parts of Karnataka in India.

There are 400+ varieties of theyyam and there would be a performer/ group of performers who wear extensive make up, head gear, fire torches around their body, colorful attire usually a mix of red, yellow, black, and dance according to the rhythm of cymbals, drums and folk music.

This was shot from Karim Gulikan theyyam performance in Kerala in March 2023.

I am multidisciplinary photographer based out of India. I try to tell my stories through visual harmony. Been taking pictures since 2011.
