Description
Poothan and Thira is a ritualistic folk art performed mainly in the Valluvanad region. Poothan Thira is primarily performed in Kerala’s central districts of Thrissur and Palakkad. It is deeply rooted in Kerala’s rich cultural and religious traditions. It combines elements of dance, music and mythology into a mesmerising spectacle. Poothan Thira performances are commonly held from Dhanu to Medam according to the Malayalam calendar, which spans from December to May. These performances are usually connected with the annual temple festivals called Pooram or Vela. There are several mythical concepts behind this tradition. Poothan Thira is not a staged performance. Performers dress up as Thira the Goddess, and Poothan the spirit subordinate of Bhagavathy, and move around the village. They walk through the streets, visit houses, and perform in courtyards. Poothan Thira performances also take place in temple premises on special festival days or a few days before the main festival as a curtain raiser.
