  Paper Title

The Mother Goddess Cult In Kerala: Its Historical Trajectory, Ritualistic Expressions, And SocioCultural Resonance

  Authors

  Abstract


These sources collectively explore the historical and sociological dimensions of Devi (Goddess) worship in Kerala, South India, with a particular focus on Bhadrakali and Kali. They discuss the evolution of these cults from ancient, possibly non-Aryan, traditions, including the influence of matriarchal societies and folk practices like animal sacrifices. The texts highlight various ritualistic art forms such as Mudiyettu, Theyyam, and Padayani, which often depict the myth of Bhadrakali slaying the demon Darika and feature male performers embodying female deities. Furthermore, the sources examine how these democratic, emotional forms of worship have interacted with and been assimilated into Brahminical and Tantric traditions, while still retaining their non-Brahmin features and community participation.
