Quotes from the books of Paulo Coelho

We cannot take the lamps that light the way and carry them with us. If we do this, we end up filling our backpacks with lanterns. In that case, even with all the light we carry, we still won't have any company to speak of.                                                                                                                         -Hippie Instead of wasting our time saying  'This is good' or 'This is bad' we have to fulfill our destiny.  -Hippie Life however had another plans- when fate is very generous with us,  there is always a well into which all our dreams constumble.  -The Witch of Portebello God hide the most important things from the wise because they cannot understand what is simple.  -The Witch of Portebello

The ritual is a part of the  bhagavathi  or  bhadrakali  cult. The dance is performed in bhadrakali temples, the temples of the  Mother Goddess , between February and May after the harvesting season. In 2010 Mudiyettu was inscribed in the  UNESCO ’s  Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity , becoming the second art form from Kerala after  Koodiyattam .
