Muthappan is a Hindu deity who is widely worshipped in Kerala’s Kannur, Kasargod, Kozhikode, and Malapuram districts, as well as Karnataka’s Coorg district. Muthappan is the embodiment of two Hindu gods: Thiruvappan or Valiya Muttapan (Vishnu) and Vellatom or Cheriya Muttapan (Vishnu) (Shiva).
Madappura is the name of the sanctuary where Muthappan is revered. The most important is the Parassinikadavu Madappura.
Muthappan’s devotion is distinct from that of other Hindu temples in that it does not follow the Sattvic (Brahminical) method of worship. The temple is open to individuals of all castes, faiths, and nations, and they are welcome to participate in the worship. Muthappan is also the primary god of the famed Parassinikkadavu temple’s traditional Theyyam dance (Muthappan Theyyam). Muthappan Theyyam’s ritual performers are from Kerala’s indigenous population. It is remarkable in that both upper-caste Brahmins and lower-caste tribals contribute significantly to the primary forms of religion in Kerala.
