This was the first shot I had taken after reaching the place for a Theyyam dance.
I found it very interesting when I saw this kid beating the drum properly and with great intensity.
It’s there in his genes, I think 🙂

They likely start drumming from the age when they are able to hold the stick. 🙂

I agree with ALL Of your other readers –
and I like the lighting in the middle – highlighting the drum – and even though we have the kids – which the clothes on both kids differs and adds to the interest – but the way that upper drum is highlighted just so adds to the feel – – and then we see maybe the mom and dad in the upper right and left – and well, clothes are sure much simpler in certain cultures….. the refreshing cotton wrapped and tucked in – and then all that beat from music – you give us a slice of a nice quality of life.

During the ritual performances like, Theyyam, men who does all the supporting role doesn’t wear any shirt, that’s the custom and ladies are not part of it at all.
One reason could be the extreme hot and humid climate 🙂
Here the elder kid was actually part of the team but the younger one just came down and started beating the drum with the others, that too so seriously 🙂

You you guessed it, right, it’s taken in Kerala, South India.
A theyyam performance was going on, which is a ritual dance and the guys and the kids were beating the drum for this.
You can find my another post on this ritual dance here, if you are interested,

(EN) Yes I know that Malayalam is Kerala’s language….unfortunately I know just a little bit of tamil( but malayalam and tamil are both dravidian languages so I can get a little bit your mother tongue).
An indian friend told me that theyyam dance belongs to a cultural festival there” Onam”… I wish to learn more from you. Have a great day too 🙂
(IT) Sí so che il Malayalam è la lingua del Kerala…sfortunatamente conosco solo un po’ di tamil( ma tamil e malayalam sono entrambi lingue dravidiche, perciò riesco a capire un po’ la tua madre lingua).
Un mio amico indiano mi ha detto che la theyyam dance appartiene a un festival culturale lá” Onam”…Spero di imparare di più da te. Buona giornata anche a te 🙂

What a great expression on the young child’s face…maybe joy, but also a seriousness, perhaps of accomplishment. Or maybe it’s just losing one’s self to the beat. Wonderful to look at, in any case.
