Poothanum Thirayum is a ritual art performed during the temple festivals of Palakkad, Malappuram and thrissur districts of kerala. The “Thira” represents Goddess Kali and the “Pootham” signifies her Bhoothagana (consort of spirits). Initially Poothan and Thira will be performing in the temple premises and then will go from house to house and perform. Householders respectfully receive the Poothan and Thira with the traditional “Deepam” (lighted lamp).
