Muchilot Bagavathi Kunnav Muchilot kavu

Muchilot Bagavathi theyyam performed at Kunnav Muchilot Kavu on 10 January 2010. To watch the performance of Thamburatti Chirakkal thamburan came to the Pallimadam
A great experience to me
Theyyam calls Thamburan as Naduvazhi
Explaimned her origin
Praising the ruling family
Received cloth from the Thamburan
Before that Bagavathy danced beautifully
Gave blessings to the devotees
Take a symbolic bath in the pond
Before taking the bath
Standing on a peedam
Acting ............ brushing the tooth
Oiling the hair
Shambooing by using leaves

Chayillyam Logan and Theyyattam Other Voice

While watching theyyam at Eramam Muchilot Kavu
I met one manHis face tells his intelligence.
But behave like an ordinary man.
I talked him about Chayllyam.
He put some questions before me.
Is Theyyam a ritual ?
Is it belonged to a separate community ?
Is here a Koyma accepted by all ?
Is here a panthal separate for Namboothiris ?
Is here personification of goddess ?
Knowing all this why all non believers assembled here along with lakhs of believers ?
Why they criticising rituals ?
Why they kept silent on the monopoly of covering the theyyam festival for selling cds through internet at a rate of $50 and above ?
Why the announcements give importance to the coverage of vedeography than giving repeated announcement about theft ?
Why the devotees are driving away from temple premises ?
Is it for the coverage ?Why the people are forbidden from taking photograph of theyyam ?They are taking the potograph with devotion........ is it for business purpose ?
ThenWhat the relation with Logans theyyattam and the theyyattam of today ?
Is Theyyattam originated in the minds of Dalits as per the study of its origin ?
But what happened to their pathis now ?
Is the organisers give any chance to them to perform their theyyam also ?
Then he told me
Try to answer yourself
I put all these questions on you
