Description: This striking photograph of Mookambika Gulikan Theyyam was taken during midnight and illustrates the dancer's triumphal posture. The intensity of the ritual is amplified by the dancer’s fierce expression after falling onto a burning log. While the flickering flames reflect the victorious culmination of the ritual, glowing wood underline its divine ceremonial significance. This is a low light photography which requires lot of patience and good knowledge of technical detailing.
