A performer wearing the costumes and facial make up depicting Kuttichathan (Goblin like child associated with black magic, mainly from North Malabar-Kerala folklore), in a fiery form. The performer wears a dress made of straws and has live torches around his waist and head dances to the rythamic beat of percussion instruments and this dance is usually performed in temples. This particular photo was taken from a stage performance using my Nikon Z6 camera with Tamron Lens 18-400mm lens at 122 mm, 1/1600 mm, f/11, ISO 5000, Ex +2.7 step.
