The Ritual Worship of Heroes and Ancestral Spirits
Theyyam, also known as Kaliyattam, is the oldest ritualistic temple art form in India , and one of the most spectacular in its artistry and symbolism. Dressed in magnificent costumes and tall headgear, the dancers dance to repel evil spirits and transport you into another world through culture rich mime, dance, and music.
Kalaripayattu - Mother of Martial Arts.
This form of armed, hand-to-hand combat is known as the mother of all martial arts. It is an intricate blend of physical agility, discipline of mind and spirit, and Ayurvedic medicine.
At one time a graduate student of Kalaripayattu could render an enemy motionless through the mere pointing of an index finger. This practice is forgotten today due to the tough discipline required. Believed to have been introduced by Lord Parasurama who is said to have retrieved Kerala from the sea, this martial art was taken across to China by a South Indian Buddhist monk, Bodhi Dharma who incidentally, invented Zen Buddhism |
