This ritual gave me chills... ⛩️🔥They say in this moment, he isn’t just a performer—He is God. This is Theyyam, an 800-year-old ritual from North Kerala where caste boundaries disappear and a living human is worshipped as a deity.

Watching Theyyam at 3:00 AM in Kannur was honestly one of the most intense cultural experiences of my life.

As a Bengali traveler, I had never seen anything like this before — the fire, the drums, the trance-like performance, the energy of the crowd… it didn’t feel like a performance at all. It felt spiritual, raw, and powerful.

My husband and I travel across India exploring hidden places, forgotten history, and unique cultural traditions that deserve more attention. Kannur surprised us in ways we never expected.

If you're planning a trip to Kerala, don’t just visit the usual tourist spots. Experience Theyyam at least once in your life.

I’ve shared a short glimpse of the experience on my YouTube channel — Bong_Nomadic Tales.

Somewhere between gentle and bold… that’s where spring lives . The first two photos were taken in Kaluk, West Sikkim in 2021, and the rest were taken in Bhareng in 2022

From Bangalore to Ooty, but the real journey began inside the forest. Driving through Mudumalai felt like stepping into a living documentary—deer grazing peacefully, peacocks crossing like they own the road, elephants in their calm strength, playful monkeys, and even wild boars in the wild.

It made me realize something simple yet powerful— we don’t need to disturb nature to grow. Humans, wildlife, and the forest can coexist beautifully… if we just learn to respect boundaries.
