Theyyam is a traditional ritualistic art form that originated in the northern part of Kerala, India. It is a prominent cultural and religious performance that holds deep significance in the lives of the people of the region. The term "Theyyam" is derived from the Malayalam word "Deivam," which means God or deity. It is believed that during Theyyam performances, the deities or spirits of various mythological figures temporarily possess the performers, known as "Theyyam artists" or "Theyyakkaran."
