Heyyam is a traditional ritualistic performance art form from the northern part of Kerala. It is a vibrant and elaborate blend of dance, music, and mime, often associated with temple festivals. The word "Theyyam" is derived from "Daivam," meaning "god," as the performers are believed to embody divine spirits during the ritual. In Theyyam, the performers, usually men, don elaborate costumes, including colorful attire, intricate face painting, and large, ornate headgear. The makeup and costumes are designed to depict various deities, mythological characters, and spirits. The performance involves intricate dance movements, symbolic gestures, and chanting, all set to the rhythm of traditional music played with instruments like drums and cymbals.
Theyyam is not just an art form but a ritual, where the performer undergoes a spiritual transformation, believed to channel divine energy and blessings to the devotees. The performances often take place in open-air sanctuaries and are a significant part of the cultural and religious landscape of Kerala.
