Theyyam is one of the most outstanding ancient dance form of North Kerala. There are so many Bagavathu Kavus and Thraravadu in kunhimangalam & Payyanur and nearby villages where Theyyam is performed . The word 'Theyyam' originated from 'Daivam' means nothing but God. The Theyyam or Kolam (a form or shape), represents a mythological, divine or heroic character. There are around 400 Theyyams in northern Kerala. The bizarre head dresses, costumes and body painting and trance like performances are very extraordinary.
