Divine Flame: this name encapsulates the raw, untamed essence of Theyyam, the sacred ritual art of Northern Kerala, where a mortal transcends into a living deity. It embodies the fierce transformation marked by a fiery face, radiating Eternal Power, where the performer's eyes blaze with divine energy and his form carries the weight of ancient traditions. The journey unfolds as a supreme force, "One Who Rules," crowned in fire and spirit, channeling a cosmic order through an intricate mandala that binds life, death, and rebirth. The painted visage reveals a dual nature—protector and destroyer—culminating in "Soul Ascendance," where fire melds with flesh, and the divine presence envelops all who witness this eternal spectacle.
