Theyyam is considered to be a sacred and spiritual ritual that revolves around the worship of ancestral spirits, local deities and divine heroes. The performer assumes the role of the deity or ancestral spirit and the belief is that, during the performance he is possessed by the spirits of the deities they represent, allowing devotees to interact with the divine and seek blessings.
The word “Theyyam” itself is derived from “Deivam,” which means “God” in Malayalam.
