EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Teyyam ceremony, a traditional festival held near Kannur, Kerala in India. The image showcases a man dressed in an elaborate costume representing a god, immersed in deep devotion and faith. The vibrant red hues of the costume are adorned with intricate patterns and ornate details, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Hinduism in this region. The man's striking appearance resembles that of a majestic monster, symbolizing both power and spirituality. Set against the backdrop of Kerala's scenic beauty, this photograph transports viewers to an enchanting world where tradition meets artistry. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the man's portrayal as he embodies his divine role during this sacred ceremony. Teyyam is not only about religious worship but also serves as an important form of performing arts event deeply rooted in Indian culture. It attracts tourists from all over who seek to witness its unique blend of spirituality and entertainment. Tuul's photography skillfully captures every aspect - from the vertical composition to the vivid colors - making it evident why Kannur is considered a must-visit travel destination for those seeking an authentic experience steeped in tradition and faith.
