Mappila Theyyam, performed in Kasaragod and Kannur, is a unique blend of Hindu and Muslim traditions in Kerala. Characters such as Mukri Theyyam, Bappiriyan Theyyam, and Aali Theyyam narrate legends that bridge mosque and temple rituals, symbolising harmony and shared heritage. Rooted in the culture of Malabar, it honours both local deities and Mappila saints, carrying forward a centuries-old message of unity.
