Thirra is a custom dance of north Kerala, south
Thirra brings the gods to life. Performers dress up with ceremonial facial paint and loud clothing and dance in front of the divinity, the bhagwati. The purpose clearly is to bring a sense of fear to the events. Each performer represents a particular deity and is sponsored by devotees as a prayer offering. These dancers are viewed as possessed by the gods when they are in their act, with devotees queuing up to meet them to share woes and wishes.
