The boundaries are very recent thing and its all on paper. Rituals haven't clear cut boundaries. Basically it's a ritual restricted to parts of Malabar Coast which includes coasts of both Kerala and Karnataka.
@@rajr7518 U will be surprised yo know that even Africa, Indonesia, Hawaii & Cambodia have similar ritials, among many others. Its not restricted to Kerala karnataka. Even India's North east have same concepts. U clearly haven't travelled much.
@@Vinay_Acharya no surprise... Tribals all around the globe has this believe s/m, but there would be variation in practicing rituals a/c change in culture... Well i haven't travel abroad but I grown up watching Nat Geo and History channel and being a military brat grown up traveling places across India, so I know some stuff ! 🙂
This is amazing! We are so fortunate to have this beautiful spiritual culture preserved. Hope the whole world will find space in it's damaged heart to learn from the sacred traditions of India.
U should definitely come to north kerala. Especially Kannur. There is a theyyam called Kandanar Kelan u must watch it. It's really awesome. Just search in youtube about Kandanar Kelan u will came to know that.
As a person from the region and having witnessed Theyyam with my own eyes, the way Theyyam was represented felt special. Although, it would have been better if we could hear the drum beats of the Chenda along with the Theyyam, giving the audience a chance to experience it for themselves.
Your film was too real... I was not watching it, I was feeling it. Even I will never forget this moment that you captured. ❤️ Loved the sound effects that you created with event ot was totally amazing. In this world of shitty content creator. We need filmmaker like you, who inspires us gives the genuine fact about the places and teaches the real meaning of traveling. Stay safe these days, it's my dream to meet you someday and make film together. ❤️
In mangalore which s coastal part of karnataka also has this type of ritual called bhuta or kola. There r many gods or Daiva( not deva). They r so beuatiful
So are my Malyali friends, they just go on and on and on while praising about their state. But as it is turning out slowly, Kerala deserves such praise and applause. And haan, " Inneki malyalam Ariyam".
Every state deserved their culture to be preserved and praised about instead of going abroad and trying to imitate so called Western culture. Most North Indian States doesn't even try to preserve anything they have. Even people don't wanna do anything regarding it. In Kerala it was the same before like a few decades when people migrated to other states and countries because they hated their place. Now it has changed 180°. I hope the same will happen with other states. That's the first reason we even created different states. We are supposed to preserve it. Just like how bollywood converted bangra music to annoying auto tuned piece of shit, I hope the culture won't get whitewashed in North. It's never too late.
I have been living outside of Kerala since the beginning and had no idea of this. One day I come back to my native place and witness this in real. Thanks ethereal for this video.
When I was watching this video I remembered the time when I saw Theyyam for the first time. I saw Muthappn Theyyam (Muthappan is a hindu god and is worshiped more in the northern part of Kerala) and that was my first time seeing Theyyam at a close distance. It wasn't from a temple. The theyyam came to my relative's house warming function to perform prayers and dance and bless everyone in the family. After the prayers the crowd was approaching theyyam for blessings. I saw many returning crying and wiping their tears and thought why do people be so dramatic it's just a person in disguise. And after waiting for so long my chance came. As soon as I stood right infront of him, I started crying (remember that I was not a small kid I was 14 or 15). I did not cry because I was scared of his costume or anything. I cried because I couldn't believe my eyes. God was literally standing infront of me. When he saw me crying, he immediately opened his arms and hugged me with his hands on my head. Elder people placing their hands on someone's head is a way of blessing them. I was so happy that Muthappan blessed me. What surprised me was after I calmed down, he started asking me about my past. How can someone whom I just saw know about my past? He even told about my future and told my mother that she will be known in my name. I was really surprised, happy and emotional all at once. That was a memorable experience for me. One that I will never forget. Thank you Ayush for taking me back to those memories💗💗💗
Kerala has similar culture as that of Goa.. In Kerala it is theyyam and Goa it is Gade utsav.. in villages.. Lots of love to Kerala and it's people from Goa🚩🤝🔥🌴
Not just kerala and Goa even mangalore and udupi , all along from the Malabar to the northern tips of the konkan coast we have a similar culture, it's the western ghats that ensures this similarity
Beautiful ❤ Theyyam tradition looks much similar to the Bhoota Kola worship we have in Karnataka. It has been beautifully demonstrated in a Kannada movie- Kantara.
I can't stress it enough that you are by far the best Indian story teller in my knowledge. Your production value speaks highly of your wisdom and wit to understand a story and then to portray it. God bless you my brother. Grow up high. You are a big big inspiration to me.
Great work. Thank you for showing the parts and culture of Kerala unexplored by the tourists, especially the northern Kerala which has much more to offer rather than houseboats and backwaters. With lots of love, A Proud Kannurian❤️.
I’m of a different faith from people but I enjoyed watching this fantastic documentary. Well done I like watching festivals and different rituals around the world. Well done
I'm happy to watch this video because it is shown as it is . Unlike other RUclips channel , you really experienced it and shared with others ☺️ . Northern part of Kerala and coastal states of Karnataka (i.e. dakshina Kannada , Udupi and southern parts of uttara Kannada) has similar customs and traditions . Tulu speaking people here also do spirit worship which is here called 'daivaraadhane' 🙏. Proud Mangalorean ❤️🌴😍
no matter what you tell there will also be people to disagree with this to push their agenda.... I think some people are desperate to disassociate some traditions/people from Sanata Dharma so they can profit from it or convert them too.
I'm pleased to hear you recognize this , we are cousins at the end of the day . Luckily for me I've had the privilege of witnessing theyyam in North kerala and Daivaraadhane in Tulunad at my friends ancestral temple in Ninthikal .
@@yahooezoneOk let me explain. I'm from Mangalore. I'm termed as a 'Hindu' to the rest of the world. But to me ( I'm one of the untouchable castes who performs this ritual, only the 'Untouchable castes' are allowed to perform this) this ritual or our culture has been associated with Hinduism only very gradually over time. Before that, or still now, our ancestors say "for us 'daivas'(demigods) come first 'devas' come next. This is a clear indication that it wasn't part of Hinduism back then and now it's still not a part of mainstream Vedic Hinduism.
@@yahooezone This is not your "Sanatana Dharma", this is Dravidian native culture, just like most of your sanatan culture is actually copied from Dravidian culture by the barbaric Aryans
Beautifully shot. Simply love it. We have something similar here in Mangalore, Karnataka as well. Having witnessed it I know how intense it is, so much energy. Kudos to the team. Very well narrated and picturised. 👍🏼👍🏼
It’s the same Boothakola, slightly different in costumes. I am from Kasaragod and most of the theyyams inKasaragod are a mix of Tulu boothakola and Northmalbar teyyams, we enjoy best of both cultures.
@@ManojAaryan-s9u I know what communism is. Its nothing but trash.Their ideologies and actions are entirely opposite. Is this the same communists who fought in the kerala assembly? We love kerala for its traditional culture,backwaters,food etc.. So please don't talk politics.

@@athulashok1102 Unlike adjustment politics of left and congress,my state was ruled by ruled by communists from 1977 to 2011. And see who is teaching me communism here😂.

This is so splendidly made, and the narration was so spell-binding. Having visited Kerala once, we had already decided that we'll just HAVE to to revisit several times. This video has just reinforced the decision. Thanks.
What a great culture we have in our lovely little paradise. Yes, Kerala is not just beaches and backwaters and hill stations. It is a melting pot of different cultures.. It is a land where all the rituals still preserved as it should.. It is a land of heavenly food.. It is a land of hospitality.. It is a land of acceptance.. We have every reason to be proud as a Malayali.

I am from Kannur. You are explained very beautifuly about Theyyam, its part of our life: its our culture. ❤️ You did it well. Thanks for your great work.
Theyyam is unique to "North Malabar" region of Kerala (present day Kannur, Kasaragod, Wayanad districts and Vadakara taluk) and not common to other parts of Kerala.
Only till korappuzha river in Kozhikode in the South and nileswaram river in Kasargod to the North, where actual theyyam and it's stories relate. i. e kolath nadu
This video is made with utmost perfection and you could portray our culture and beliefs very vividly. All your observations and narration of every content is really appreciable . The camera ,bgm score and a very well executed presentation made this video as a professional one. Great thanks for your respect towards our divine culture and traditional art forms . 🙏
Not just theyyam .....the whole village would be in the festive mood for days ..without sleep ...during theyyam ....and drama...ghoshayatra, which is absolutely amazing...... And many other things...I would wait to come back to my homeland during vacation and wouldn't sleep at alllll during these days ...one of the most beautiful experience ever ..and happy to be part of such an amazing culture !!!.... another thing about theyyam : It also tells the geography of the land during those years accurately ...also this is purely hindutva to those who said this isn't part of mainstream hindutva dharma ...caste wasn't ever part of dharma there is an evolution and interference of those scripts and who wrote the laws during those era mainly the Brahmin who r tend to be closer to God and have knowledge .....humans slowly become selfish for power n benefits, even Brahmins .... slowly the division became discrete caste separation ...all for noble's benefits ....actually these theyyam forms are preserving the real dharma .... It's not all about caste ...but also about a lot of karma that perish the harmony..like brothers cheating for power ...story of revenge, love, sacrifice all karma ....🙏🙏🙏
Caste system was there. And Theyyam has no connection with mainstream Brahminical Hindutva. If you don't know then try to know the story of Pottan Theyyam. . There is no Hindu texts mentioning persons such as Kandanar Kelan, Vayanaaytu Kulavan, Kathivanoor Veeran, Mutthappan etc which are different varieties of Theyyam. So don't make false claims over my culture. Hindutva divides people. Theyyam culture has no caste or religious discrimination. Anybody is free to visit Theyyakkaavu. And I repeat "Kaavu". Not Kshethram .
no matter what you tell there will also be people to disagree with this to push their agenda.... I think some people are desperate to disassociate some traditions/people from Sanata Dharma so they can profit from it or convert them too.
@@RR-tp5gy the Vedas don't even mention Ganesha, murugan, Rama, subramanya, Durga, bhavani, Banashankari, vithoba, Anantha Padmanabha or ayyappa. Even Vishnu and Shiva minor deities. So they aren't hindu gods? These local gods aren't mentioned in the Vedas but they are very part of Hindu rituals. The theyyam is performed by Hindus and for Hindus. The Vedas don't even mention temples. So temples aren't hindu? Hinduism always gets new additions every now and then. And that Vedic Hinduism doesn't exist anymore. That stopped even before the haryankas. The Vedas just became base texts for newer rituals. Even the puranas don't follow Vedic systems. They differ from the Vedas in their own way. Why do you always hate Hindus? You either want to break us or call us stupid. Why?
@@lightboi9752 The base of Hindutva itself is Manusmriti. The primary evidence that Sanatana dharma divides and discriminates people. And now you are asking me why I hate Hindus? Should I again remind you of the discrimination created by High caste brahminical Hinduism? Should I remind you why even Swami Vivekananda called Kerala an Asylum? Don't you even know the reason why Sree Narayana Guru, Ayyankali, Periyaar etc had to fight so that the lower caste could worship their God. Because of this high caste domination in worship, the lower caste people started worshipping their own God. They have their own rituals. This is why I hate Hindutva. I didn't say I hate Hindus. Don't blabber anything out of anger. If I say I hate Hindus, what is the difference between you and me. We don't hate anyone. Our God muthappan treats everyone equal. Even if a girl is in her periods she is always free to enter the Madappura of Muthappan. Even if it is a non Hindu, he or she is free to visit muthappan unlike Guruvayoor temple. But I can't accept a false claim by Hindutva on my culture. All these are reasons that substantiate why Theyyam culture is different from Hindutva. In the main comment she said caste system didn't exist in the beginning. Seriously??? Caste system was the main frame of Hindutva. You are saying that these Gods are latter additions to Hindutva. No. Rather, this is a hijacking of Hindutva on our culture. In the famous Andaloor Kaavu in Kannur, the deity was Daivathaar. With the hijacking of Hindutva, some started calling Daivathaar as Sree Ram. Now these people are attempting to make Muthappan as Siva. You are rituals are the same in Theyyam? Some of the rituals were also hijacked by Hindu rituals. Hindu elements were added to it later by propagandists, by becoming members of the committees of Theyyakkavu. The agenda to hijack Theyyam culture has been there for a long time. That's why you can't see the difference in rituals now. They are being hijacked. Attempts are even made to make the Gods were sacred thread of Brahmins. When the lower caste people were banned from worshipping their gods, they started worshipping their God in their own way. That is Theyyam. It is also performed by lower caste people. The same lower caste people who were made slaves and discriminated by your Hindutva. If you are asking me why I hate Hindutva, I have strong reasons like these. But how dare you say I hate Hindus? I never said that. I don't hate any people belonging to other faith like you do.
@happysoul In the main comment, the person said caste was not there. I denied that. But I didn't say that lower caste people also discriminated upper caste people. They didn't see anyone as inferior or superior to themselves. The story of makkam is also like that. Just because she was an upper caste born, doesn't mean she can't be worshipped by lower caste people.
i am a malayali from south east asia who still speak the language. my roots are from Kannur. i go back there all the time. witnessed it in its so special. lord muthappa's blessings is always special. yes, the southern part of karnataka also share similar practices , those bordering kerala. i just received pictures on the Theyyam done at our tharvad few days ago. it moved me.
@@dheevar9660 The Dravidians are distant cousins from Africans, the marginalized native people in Kerala who practice these cultures have 80% or more ancient Indian hunter-gatherer genes.
@@xijinpig8982 awesome. we are overwhelmed by Palkad people. very very different in our way of thinking than southern malayalis. we tend to look a shade different too. nice to know that.
I had received blessings from Theyyam.. I didn't understand the language but had goosebumps at the moment. My husband had translated what he had said later. It was in a Devikhsetram. 🙏 I want to witness it again..
The stories that you present, Are really inspiring. And I don't think even people of the state or region knows this much about their own state that much you describes. Really Amazing!!
This is not just a dance or a ritual it's a form of Worship... The man who become theyyam , becoms the diety... He practices rigourous fasting and rituals to become theyyam.... It's not a performance but an actual form of worship... When he becomes theyyam sometimes he can predict future , give blessings also give advice to the devotees and solutions for their problems....
Bro ur great.... hats of to u... Ur way of story telling is amazing... And the way you are filming is awesome . There is a magic in ur filming...and storytelling ... it gives positive energy ....
Proud of our rich culture 🙏🏽 these rituals , beliefs is what keeps our culture alive .. proudly pass it on to our younger generation ! KANTARA only revived these ancient rituals & brought back ppl’s respect & belief in them 🙏🏽
There is an art form called Padayani in the Pathanamthitta district in Kerala. Still, remember the day when I went with my parents to watch it. It was a chilling experience. This video made me remember the day. Thank you, Ayush, and best wishes to you. Your work really inspired me to connect with my past and remember the ancient ritual of Padayani.
India is the land of food, colors, culture, spirituality and festivities. We don’t force people to believe in one God and worship in any one specific pattern. People have the freedom to follow whoever and whatever they want, from Sun to rivers to mountains to holy trinity to female Shakti to even deities- which are specific to regions. And that’s why so many festivities and rituals. It’s just mind blowing. Happy and Proud to be part of this great “living” culture. Other Ancient civilisations are extinct - from ancient Greeks, Romans, Persians and Egyptians. While we exist and continue to thrive and carry this legacy forward.
@@EtherealColours I think this comment is a little late for u to be read..... But dropping it here in a hope that u will read some day.... ☺ In coastal part of Karnataka and Kerala, there is a land culturally named Tulunadu (from region around Kundapura in Karnataka to around kasargod in Kerala)..... The culture in this area remains same with minor difference.... Though I don't claim to be correct , I personally being from the region of tulunadu in Karnataka have found extreme similarities in culture. I wonder, inquire and remain still confused that are these the same?? I see differences and a lot similarities. Theyyam ( Kerala) can be compared with Bhoota kola (Karnataka) . And Kathakali(Kerala) can be compared to Yakshagana( Karnataka). While yakshagana has a variation (form ) within the Karnataka region - Tenkutittu and badagadittu which is very shocking!... Though they both are the same..... Where I see kathakali a very much more different than yakshagana still having a lot of similarities ☺
Honestly, never viewed Kerala before the way I viewed it now. I love my Kerala visit and picture was just like anybody else,. the boats and the backwater... you took me to the other side of Kerala, thank you so much Ayush. As usual great filming, wonderful storytelling and adequate music selection. Regards #Ashishchandrana
There is a myth that the Nairs and Bunts originally are Naga stocks from Ram Nagar of Utrakhand.They migrated along with Nambudiri as their protectors.Not sure how much truth in it.
For the record: There are plenty of folk gods / spirits / divine energies worshipped in this form. Its not just limited to the spirits of people who fought against social injustices. These practices are widely existent in coastal Karnataka also. 🙂👍
I'm a heart felt Teyyam-Thira lover... I could say - Ur is one the best theyyam documentary. And those who wants see the teyyam... Please note that theyyam is a seasonal temple festival. Usually it happens in Jan-Mar at Northern Kerala Temples.

Nicely done, good effort. Goose bump @8.8 Go to Kannur Kerala during Feb to End of Mar to see the varieties of representation of God and Goddess, their stories of origin etc.
All around extreme north Kerala (northern Kannur and Kasaragod) and southern Tulunadu and Kodagu area have lot of cultural similarities. Remember states were formed only in 1956. Theyyam or Bothakola etc are same except some minor differences in costumes and drumbeats.
Here after watching 'Kantara'. This decentralised way of Hindu Dharma is the reason why our civilization didn't became extinct inspite of the all the attacks from foreign religions. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🚩 Jai Shree Ram, Jai Bhavani, Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa.
Who said foreign religions attacked Kerala?? Arabas came to kerala, settles spread islam. Missionaries came spread chritianity. They never attacked hindus. History of kerala is different from history of north.
But after the release of kantara movie south keralaites with the help of communists started to make this as a fancy dress parade and stage show program to make money and fame it is really sad they don't have any connections with the theyyam rituals in nort Malabar before Indian indipendance both were two different nations
I grew up in a beautiful village in kasaragod. Luckily we got to experience this every year. Night outs with friends to see 'theyyam' at 'kaliyattam' (when different forms of theyyam is done for a period of days, like a grand festival). Missing it so much!

I’m from this place n I know some of the persons in the video personally. It’s in kannur district. And this rituals already started at different temples and lasts till May month every year. If u check for theyyam in kannur n kasargod these days, u will see. Also search for theyyam calender. I’m not sure whether they r updating accordingly or not still u may get some
@@Prasadshelar9898 Also, most of the theyyam are from march to May but it will be hot n humid there. So if u get a chance before February end, it will be better
Dear nitish, theyyam is such a ritual, which is not comes under the definition of ure so called 'sanathan dharma'. First of all, please understand That there are so many cultural traditions which not falls under 'sanatan dharma'. Theyyam performers comes from so called 'untouchable' castes (according to the sanatan dharma of ures) and the stories that they sung for theyyam (thottam paat) are stories of resistance, against the suppression, which faced by the downtrodden people. People from the soil. Study about it. Study about the purity and pollution, the bloody history, the chaos that the 'dharma' created. Please dont put it under the category of 'sanathan dharma'. Because theyyam has its own identity. With love, from kerla. ❤

Every state deserved their culture to be preserved and praised about instead of going abroad and trying to imitate so called Western culture. Most North Indian States doesn't even try to preserve anything they have. Even people don't wanna do anything regarding it. In Kerala it was the same before like a few decades when people migrated to other states and countries because they hated their place. Now it has changed 180°. I hope the same will happen with other states. That's the first reason we even created different states. We are supposed to preserve it.

When I was watching this video I remembered the time when I saw Theyyam for the first time. I saw Muthappn Theyyam (Muthappan is a hindu god and is worshiped more in the northern part of Kerala) and that was my first time seeing Theyyam at a close distance. It wasn't from a temple. The theyyam came to my relative's house warming function to perform prayers and dance and bless everyone in the family. After the prayers the crowd was approaching theyyam for blessings. I saw many returning crying and wiping their tears and thought why do people be so dramatic it's just a person in disguise. And after waiting for so long my chance came. As soon as I stood right infront of him, I started crying (remember that I was not a small kid I was 14 or 15). I did not cry because I was scared of his costume or anything. I cried because I couldn't believe my eyes. God was literally standing infront of me. When he saw me crying, he immediately opened his arms and hugged me with his hands on my head. Elder people placing their hands on someone's head is a way of blessing them. I was so happy that Muthappan blessed me. What surprised me was after I calmed down, he started asking me about my past. How can someone whom I just saw know about my past? He even told about my future and told my mother that she will be known in my name. I was really surprised, happy and emotional all at once. That was a memorable experience for me. One that I will never forget.
Thank you Ayush for taking me back to those memories💗💗💗
True, its still a mystery, they use to tell the past and present when they give blessings...
Even I was surprised many times...
Thank you ethereal for understanding the essence of Kerala and showing it to the world. This's so beautiful.
Thank you for watching!

I'm happy to watch this video because it is shown as it is . Unlike other RUclips channel , you really experienced it and shared with others ☺️ . Northern part of Kerala and coastal states of Karnataka (i.e. dakshina Kannada , Udupi and southern parts of uttara Kannada) has similar customs and traditions . Tulu speaking people here also do spirit worship which is here called 'daivaraadhane' 🙏. Proud Mangalorean ❤️🌴😍
no matter what you tell there will also be people to disagree with this to push their agenda.... I think some people are desperate to disassociate some traditions/people from Sanata Dharma so they can profit from it or convert them too.
I'm pleased to hear you recognize this , we are cousins at the end of the day . Luckily for me I've had the privilege of witnessing theyyam in North kerala and Daivaraadhane in Tulunad at my friends ancestral temple in Ninthikal .
@@yahooezoneOk let me explain. I'm from Mangalore. I'm termed as a 'Hindu' to the rest of the world. But to me ( I'm one of the untouchable castes who performs this ritual, only the 'Untouchable castes' are allowed to perform this) this ritual or our culture has been associated with Hinduism only very gradually over time. Before that, or still now, our ancestors say "for us 'daivas'(demigods) come first 'devas' come next. This is a clear indication that it wasn't part of Hinduism back then and now it's still not a part of mainstream Vedic Hinduism.
@@yahooezone I have seen similar in Africa
@@yahooezone This is not your "Sanatana Dharma", this is Dravidian native culture, just like most of your sanatan culture is actually copied from Dravidian culture by the barbaric Aryans
Beautifully shot. Simply love it. We have something similar here in Mangalore, Karnataka as well. Having witnessed it I know how intense it is, so much energy. Kudos to the team. Very well narrated and picturised. 👍🏼👍🏼
It’s the same Boothakola, slightly different in costumes. I am from Kasaragod and most of the theyyams inKasaragod are a mix of Tulu boothakola and Northmalbar teyyams, we enjoy best of both cultures.

Theyyam is unique to "North Malabar" region of Kerala (present day Kannur, Kasaragod, Wayanad districts and Vadakara taluk) and not common to other parts of Kerala.
In kozhikode (thira)

The camera ,bgm score and a very well executed presentation made this video as a professional one. Great thanks for your respect towards our divine culture and traditional art forms . 🙏
Not just theyyam .....the whole village would be in the festive mood for days ..without sleep ...during theyyam ....and drama...ghoshayatra, which is absolutely amazing...... And many other things...I would wait to come back to my homeland during vacation and wouldn't sleep at alllll during these days ...one of the most beautiful experience ever ..and happy to be part of such an amazing culture !!!.... another thing about theyyam : It also tells the geography of the land during those years accurately ...also this is purely hindutva to those who said this isn't part of mainstream hindutva dharma ...caste wasn't ever part of dharma there is an evolution and interference of those scripts and who wrote the laws during those era mainly the Brahmin who r tend to be closer to God and have knowledge .....humans slowly become selfish for power n benefits, even Brahmins .... slowly the division became discrete caste separation ...all for noble's benefits ....actually these theyyam forms are preserving the real dharma .... It's not all about caste ...but also about a lot of karma that perish the harmony..like brothers cheating for power ...story of revenge, love, sacrifice all karma ....🙏🙏🙏
Caste system was there. And Theyyam has no connection with mainstream Brahminical Hindutva.
If you don't know then try to know the story of Pottan Theyyam. .
There is no Hindu texts mentioning persons such as Kandanar Kelan, Vayanaaytu Kulavan, Kathivanoor Veeran, Mutthappan etc which are different varieties of Theyyam.
So don't make false claims over my culture. Hindutva divides people. Theyyam culture has no caste or religious discrimination. Anybody is free to visit Theyyakkaavu. And I repeat "Kaavu". Not Kshethram .
no matter what you tell there will also be people to disagree with this to push their agenda.... I think some people are desperate to disassociate some traditions/people from Sanata Dharma so they can profit from it or convert them too.
@@RR-tp5gy the Vedas don't even mention Ganesha, murugan, Rama, subramanya, Durga, bhavani, Banashankari, vithoba, Anantha Padmanabha or ayyappa. Even Vishnu and Shiva minor deities. So they aren't hindu gods? These local gods aren't mentioned in the Vedas but they are very part of Hindu rituals. The theyyam is performed by Hindus and for Hindus.
The Vedas don't even mention temples. So temples aren't hindu?
Hinduism always gets new additions every now and then. And that Vedic Hinduism doesn't exist anymore. That stopped even before the haryankas. The Vedas just became base texts for newer rituals. Even the puranas don't follow Vedic systems. They differ from the Vedas in their own way.
Why do you always hate Hindus? You either want to break us or call us stupid. Why?
@@lightboi9752 The base of Hindutva itself is Manusmriti. The primary evidence that Sanatana dharma divides and discriminates people. And now you are asking me why I hate Hindus?
Should I again remind you of the discrimination created by High caste brahminical Hinduism?
Should I remind you why even Swami Vivekananda called Kerala an Asylum?
Don't you even know the reason why Sree Narayana Guru, Ayyankali, Periyaar etc had to fight so that the lower caste could worship their God. Because of this high caste domination in worship, the lower caste people started worshipping their own God. They have their own rituals.
This is why I hate Hindutva. I didn't say I hate Hindus. Don't blabber anything out of anger. If I say I hate Hindus, what is the difference between you and me. We don't hate anyone.
Our God muthappan treats everyone equal. Even if a girl is in her periods she is always free to enter the Madappura of Muthappan.
Even if it is a non Hindu, he or she is free to visit muthappan unlike Guruvayoor temple.
But I can't accept a false claim by Hindutva on my culture.
All these are reasons that substantiate why Theyyam culture is different from Hindutva.
In the main comment she said caste system didn't exist in the beginning. Seriously??? Caste system was the main frame of Hindutva.
You are saying that these Gods are latter additions to Hindutva.
No. Rather, this is a hijacking of Hindutva on our culture. In the famous Andaloor Kaavu in Kannur, the deity was Daivathaar. With the hijacking of Hindutva, some started calling Daivathaar as Sree Ram. Now these people are attempting to make Muthappan as Siva.
You are rituals are the same in Theyyam? Some of the rituals were also hijacked by Hindu rituals. Hindu elements were added to it later by propagandists, by becoming members of the committees of Theyyakkavu. The agenda to hijack Theyyam culture has been there for a long time. That's why you can't see the difference in rituals now. They are being hijacked. Attempts are even made to make the Gods were sacred thread of Brahmins.
When the lower caste people were banned from worshipping their gods, they started worshipping their God in their own way. That is Theyyam. It is also performed by lower caste people. The same lower caste people who were made slaves and discriminated by your Hindutva.
If you are asking me why I hate Hindutva, I have strong reasons like these. But how dare you say I hate Hindus? I never said that. I don't hate any people belonging to other faith like you do.
@happysoul In the main comment, the person said caste was not there. I denied that. But I didn't say that lower caste people also discriminated upper caste people. They didn't see anyone as inferior or superior to themselves. The story of makkam is also like that. Just because she was an upper caste born, doesn't mean she can't be worshipped by lower caste people.
i am a malayali from south east asia who still speak the language. my roots are from Kannur. i go back there all the time. witnessed it in its so special. lord muthappa's blessings is always special. yes, the southern part of karnataka also share similar practices , those bordering kerala. i just received pictures on the Theyyam done at our tharvad few days ago. it moved me.

@@dheevar9660 The Dravidians are distant cousins from Africans, the marginalized native people in Kerala who practice these cultures have 80% or more ancient Indian hunter-gatherer genes.

This is not just a dance or a ritual it's a form of Worship... The man who become theyyam , becoms the diety... He practices rigourous fasting and rituals to become theyyam.... It's not a performance but an actual form of worship... When he becomes theyyam sometimes he can predict future , give blessings also give advice to the devotees and solutions for their problems....
Bro ur great.... hats of to u...
Ur way of story telling is amazing...
And the way you are filming is awesome . There is a magic in ur filming...and storytelling ... it gives positive energy ....
Proud of our rich culture 🙏🏽 these rituals , beliefs is what keeps our culture alive .. proudly pass it on to our younger generation ! KANTARA only revived these ancient rituals & brought back ppl’s respect & belief in them 🙏🏽
There is an art form called Padayani in the Pathanamthitta district in Kerala. Still, remember the day when I went with my parents to watch it. It was a chilling experience. This video made me remember the day. Thank you, Ayush, and best wishes to you. Your work really inspired me to connect with my past and remember the ancient ritual of Padayani.
This is only performed in North kerala especially in kannur kasargid
Padayani is different
No trivandrumm
Padayani is very different from theyyam both are completely different
Kerala has many local rituals like theyyam, padayani, kolam thullal, ottam thullal, chaakkiyaar kuth, mudiyattaam & many more
This film is soooo beautifully made. Totally loved it. Thanks a lot !!!
Awesome. The Theyyam has been high up on my bucket list for a while now. It has now moved onto my must-do list.
Recently I saw a Bhootakola video with similar rituals; Kerala and the coastal Karnataka share a lot of similarities.
India is the land of food, colors, culture, spirituality and festivities.
We don’t force people to believe in one God and worship in any one specific pattern. People have the freedom to follow whoever and whatever they want, from Sun to rivers to mountains to holy trinity to female Shakti to even deities- which are specific to regions. And that’s why so many festivities and rituals. It’s just mind blowing.
Happy and Proud to be part of this great “living” culture. Other Ancient civilisations are extinct - from ancient Greeks, Romans, Persians and Egyptians. While we exist and continue to thrive and carry this legacy forward.
In also Karnataka, mangalore have ritual beliefs called daiva (demigods) love from Mangalore ❤️
Theyyam is our version of martyr becoming a God. It includes both women and men. They all fought against different social issues and got killed after.
proud to be a keraleeyan❤

In coastal part of Karnataka and Kerala, there is a land culturally named Tulunadu (from region around Kundapura in Karnataka to around kasargod in Kerala).....
The culture in this area remains same with minor difference.... Though I don't claim to be correct , I personally being from the region of tulunadu in Karnataka have found extreme similarities in culture.
I wonder, inquire and remain still confused that are these the same??
I see differences and a lot similarities.
Theyyam ( Kerala) can be compared with Bhoota kola (Karnataka) .
And Kathakali(Kerala) can be compared to Yakshagana( Karnataka).
While yakshagana has a variation (form ) within the Karnataka region - Tenkutittu and badagadittu which is very shocking!... Though they both are the same..... Where I see kathakali a very much more different than yakshagana still having a lot of similarities ☺
Honestly, never viewed Kerala before the way I viewed it now. I love my Kerala visit and picture was just like anybody else,. the boats and the backwater... you took me to the other side of Kerala, thank you so much Ayush.

Beauty of Sanatan Dharm. Love from Mysore
Dear nitish, theyyam is such a ritual, which is not comes under the definition of ure so called 'sanathan dharma'. First of all, please understand That there are so many cultural traditions which not falls under 'sanatan dharma'. Theyyam performers comes from so called 'untouchable' castes (according to the sanatan dharma of ures) and the stories that they sung for theyyam (thottam paat) are stories of resistance, against the suppression, which faced by the downtrodden people. People from the soil. Study about it. Study about the purity and pollution, the bloody history, the chaos that the 'dharma' created. Please dont put it under the category of 'sanathan dharma'. Because theyyam has its own identity. With love, from kerla. ❤
@@chethanpadminimenon2165 and these sanatan dharma followers fail to explain manusmrithi which is one of most misgonyst, anti lower caste book ever written
@@frankocean6676 manu smriti is a smriti. You cannot talk about it, many verses of it worshipped women and promote equality too. You cannot rely completely on a smriti to define sanathan culture. Thw bhagvat geeta didn't mention about lower caste neither does veda then how can you compend sanathan culture based on manusmriti which is reconfigure every century. Even many law school are not based on manusmriti. Manusmriti is fine book if you read it specifically visudh manusmriti. Second thing thayyam culture celebration and rituals are completely based on hindu philosophy. First read then bark
@@chethanpadminimenon2165 he mentioned Arya if you had paid attention and arya is nobleness define in rig veda.
@@chethanpadminimenon2165 well said
The music creates great enthusiasm. The drums beating even man would have the energy of god.
The storytelling is marvelous. Capturing the emotions, the physicality, the culture, the spirituality is done beautifully. Just love it ❤️❤️
