Kuttichathan Thira @ Kattodi Meethal Temple Kadameri | Kuttichathan Theyyam | Sasthappan Theyyam Kuttichathan Theyyam also known as Sasthappan Theyyam is a theyyam that is performed in northern parts of Kerala state in India. An incarnation of shaivite strength, Kuttichathan was born when Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati lived for a while as mortals. It is believed that he was given this form by Lord Shiva to appease childless devotees, the Kalakkattamma and Kalakkattachan. Kuttichathan is a famous deity and the Kuttichathan Theyyam is also hugely popular. There is an interesting story about Kuttichathan. Once upon a time, Shiva and Parvathi lived in a remote hill area with the ‘Valluvar’ community. They had two children named Karuval and Kuttichathan. Kuttichathan was born with a flower on his forehead, a third eye and a black body with white stripes. A Brahmin couple lived nearby and they didn’t have any children. They observed prolonged fasting to appease Shiva. Pleased with their devotion, the Lord decided to give Kuttichathan to the couple. Even as a child, Kuttichathan was into mischief. He would never listen to the elders. He would even behead the cows and drink their blood. These acts distressed his adoptive parents and they killed him. But even after his death, they could not get rid of him. They would constantly hear his voice reverberating inside their Illam (a Brahmin household). To eliminate these disturbances, the distressed couple organized a puja. They created a fire pit but to their utter shock, they found several Kuttichathans emerging from the fire. These Chathans started performing fire dance and destroyed the Illam. The Brahmin couple realized that the child was divine and constructed shrines called ‘Sthanas’ for him. There are several Kuttichathans. The most popular ones are Poo Kuttichathan (flower Kuttichathan), Karim Kuttichathan (black Kuttichathan) and Thee Kuttichathan (fire Kuttichathan). Devotees believe that Kuttichathan will fulfill their wishes if they make him happy through sincere prayers.
