Dance of the Gods...it is indeed a spell binding experience as the dancers start to perform the ritual dance to the tune of the rhythmic beat of the drums. You could witness this magical experience during your stay in the Malabar region particularly Kannur and Nileshwar. This is not a performance put on for tourists but an ancient tradition that is still being followed by the traditional Hindu communities of Malabar. It is possible to witness at least one performance during your stay in this region. Theyyams can happen anytime during the day or night depending on the location and the event. Some of the larger festivals can have more than one theyyam.
