EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Theyyam, a unique and ancient ritualistic performance art form native to the Malabar region of Kerala, India. The image features the revered Theyyam artist Balasubramanian GV, adorned in intricate body art and a vibrant costume, as he enters a trance-like state in the sacred grounds of Taliparamba. Theyyam is deeply rooted in Hinduism and is believed to be a manifestation of various deities, invoking their blessings upon the community. The performer, through intense devotion and physical transformation, becomes a divine being, bridging the gap between the mortal world and the divine realm. The scene unfolds in the picturesque village of Taliparamba, nestled in the lush greenery of Kannur, affectionately known as 'God's Own Country'. The serene backdrop of the natural surroundings adds to the spiritual significance of the ritual, creating an atmosphere of reverence and awe. The photograph encapsulates the sacred and spiritual essence of Theyyam, a testament to the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted spiritual practices that continue to thrive in Kerala. Balasubramanian GV's unwavering dedication and commitment to the art form are evident in his powerful and transformative performance, leaving an indelible impression on all who bear witness to this remarkable spectacle.
