Festival overview
A living ritual calendar for documentary photographers
Theyyam is not a single event in one venue. It is a season of ritual performances across temple compounds, village grounds, and community spaces in North Kerala. For photographers, the opportunity is not only color and spectacle. The strongest work comes from understanding the preparation, belief, crowd movement, local protocol, and quiet moments around the performance.
