Traditional rituals of Kerala
Mudiyett Mudiyett or Mudiyettu is a traditional ritual theatre and folk dance drama from Kerala that enacts the mythological tale of a battle between the goddess Kali and the demon Darika . 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 .
