Tholpavakoothu, a traditional temple art form prevalent in the Bhagavathy temples of Palakkad district and nearby regions in Kerala, narrates the timeless tale of Lord Rama’s divine incarnation from the epic Ramayana. Rooted in Hindu beliefs, it embodies the profound notion that when virtue and righteousness (dharma) wane, and evil (adharma) prevails, Lord Vishnu descends to restore harmony and right awareness.
