Prayers for a Child: The Rare Night Ritual of Nangolangara Bhagavathi Theyyam | Documentary

Nangolangara Bhagavathy is a unique manifestation of the Theyyam tradition, celebrated primarily as the Goddess of Fertility and Motherhood. For generations, it has been performed in a sacred grove (kavu) in Irinave, Kannur, North Kerala. Unlike many other Theyyam performances, her ritual is conducted exclusively by the light of traditional oil lamps (Olachootu). This documentary explores the deep-rooted belief that Nangolangara Bhagavathy, the sister of the powerful Madayil Kavu Bhagavathy, descended to the human world specifically to bless the childless. In this documentary, we look at the story behind Nangolagara Bhagavathy, what the ritual represents, and why devotees continue to take vows here for parenthood and family blessings. Through conversations and observation, we explore how this Theyyam remains closely tied to land, community, and belief — preserved in its original setting and form.
