Thanks so much for posting this. I am a devotee of BhadraKaali, Kannagattu and Muchilottu Bagavathis and Naga and Puliyoor Kaalis. Its so nice to see Devi's kolam here, as it is so nice to see all the Theyyams and Thiras posted on Youtube. And I am glad to see that the convention about filming these events has relaxed somewhat. Malayali ritual arts are far too beautiful to not be seen by others.
