വിഷ്ണു മൂര്ത്തി തെയ്യം. കണ്ണൂരില് പയ്യന്നൂരിനടുത്തുള്ള പിലാത്തറയിലെ നടുവിലത്ത് കോട്ടത്തില് നിന്നും.

taken with a 50mm @ 1/1250s. This is my first experience with any subject which is this much fast and fierce. Due to some unknown reason I was afraid and uneasy in the begining. This is one of those not so comfortable, somehow managed kinda shots.

Theyyam (theyyattam) is a ritual dance form popular in northern Kerala. Theyyam is normally performed in temples/Kavu/kOOttam mostly in Kannore and Kasrgode districts in few places in Kozhikode district. The name theyyam is derived from the malayalam name for God (daivam). During the ritual the artist is considered as God and they complain ask for blessings as if they are talking to God.
