Mudiyettu

Mudiyettu is a ritual art mostly performed in the Ernakulam and Kottayam districts of Kerala. Originating from the Bhadrakali cult, Mudiyettu recently found a place in UNESCO's Representative list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This recognition by UNESCO is for art forms that are struggling for existence and helps in garnering global support for the art form and its practitioners.
