Pottan Theyyam

Category - Kerala 365

Pottan Theyyam


With elaborate make-up, red attire, and unique headgear, Pottan Theyyam like all other Kolams evoke a sense of zest and zeal in the devotees. 

Pottan Theyyam can be seen as the first popular movement against the distinction of caste and religion in Kerala. Once dressed up, Pottan is considered equal to any other deity. This popular Theyyam takes on a supernatural halo when it transforms into Lord Shiva.
