"Pottan Theyyam" is a vivid, lively and colorful ritualistic dance which comes in
malabar, a territory comprising the present Kannur district and parts of Calicut and Kasargod
districts of Kerala,
India. It is a form of resistance, symbolizing goodness that would wipe
out the
social evils in the community. The theyyam re-enacts in
ritualistic expressions the life of those
personalities who had laid
down their life for a social cause and is termed as a social satire.
