Kummattikkali is a vibrant and colourful mask dance of Kerala that adds to the festive spirit of Onam.

There is a popular belief that the Kummattikkali ritual resembles the dance of Bhootha Ganas (spiritual entities) of Lord Shiva, performed at His command to welcome King Mahabali. The highlight of Kummattikkali is the wooden mask depicting various characters from mythology, folklore, and daily life as well as the green grass costume worn by the dancers. This unique folk dance and art form is prevalent in Thrissur District, Palakkad District, and parts of South Malabar.

God’s own country to miss #Kummattikali mask dance this #Onam. The fabled #mask dance of #Kerala, performed with unstinted zest on every onam will not be performed this year owing to social distancing norms. Kummattikali is a traditional folk dance of Kerala performed mainly on the harvest festival, its more like a dance of seekers in in which performers wearing surrealistic colourful masks of deities like #Krishnna, #Kali, #Ganesha, #Garuda or #mythological figures dance their way from one house to anothers asking food items or cash with supplication. The overall livery of the performers is made of bushes or clumps of shrubs and masks are carved out from various endemic trees like #Jackfruit, #HogPlum, #Saprophyte etc.The elusive shrubs used in making costumes is called Kummatti Pallu which is beilved to have medicinal qualities. Factually there is no historical record of Kummattikali dance, some believe it to have started 150 years ago but according to mythological legend Siva, the presiding deity of the Vadakkunnathan Temple at the heart of Thrissur, once demanded his bhutas to perform Kummattikali celebrating the triumph of devas over the asuras. #traditional #Dance https://www.instagram.com/p/CEdM0zyAL2P/?igshid=6mbgztkahal6
