Muchilottu Bhagavathi Theyyam figurine in Kumil wood

Muchilottu Bhagavathy is a folk diety in the Malabar region whose story emanates from caste based intricacies and how the Devi who was a small girl child was shunned from one community and was adopted as a goddess in another.

Wooden theyyam models were made since medieval times to record the costume and jewellery application and pass it on to the coming generations.
