Abstract

"Theyyam and Social Protest" examines the traditional folk ritual of Theyyam in Kerala, India, and its role as a medium of social protest. Theyyam, a ritual dance performed predominantly by lower-caste communities, serves not only as a religious ceremony but also as a powerful form of resistance against caste oppression. The study highlights specific Theyyam performances such as Pottan Theyyam and Devakooth Theyyam, which challenge social hierarchies and advocate for equality and social justice. The study further explores the cultural, sociological, and psychological impacts of Theyyam, demonstrating how it fosters communal unity and addresses societal grievances.
