Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: After the ritual song (thottam) is over, the Kolakaran appears on stage with proper make- up and costumes. There are different patterns of facial makeup. The colours used for the same is extracted from Nature like Chayilyam, Karimazhi, Aripodi and Maniyola. Depends on the nature of the Theyyam they will have different facial make-up, costumes and ornaments. Some Theyyams even bear fire on their hair like Theechamundi.
