Poothan and Thira
Poothan and Thira is a ritualistic art form found in the South Malabar region of Kerala in India, in which people dance in costumes representing Poothan, Shiva's lieutenant, and Thira, the goddess Kali, to the accompaniment of drummers. It is usually performed once or twice a year in villages or towns to cleanse them of evil spirits as well as in temples - especially in the Pooram festival season between December and May. Performers are traditionally from the Mannan Hindu sub-caste of rural Palakkad, southern parts of Malappuram and northern parts of Thrissur.
