ThiyattuIt is a devotional offering to Bhadrakali and Sree Ayyappa. This ritual art is performed in a specially decorated pandal, before the Kalam (five colour design on the floor), the traditional lamp (nilavilaku), and peetam (stool). The performance usually starts at dusk.
The artists sing and dance to the rhythmic music of the chenda, elathalam and chengila. The costumes bear resemblances to Ottanthullal and Kathakali, the distinctive features are huge jingling anklets and face makeup with tiny white dots.
