It is a form of worship of Hindu deities and spirits. The performers, who are called Theyyam artists, wear elaborate costumes and masks and dance to the accompaniment of music and drums. Theyyam is performed in temples and other sacred places, and it is believed to bring blessings to the community.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A) Colorful folk dances is not the main feature of Theyyam. While Theyyam performances can be colorful, they are not primarily about dancing.<\/li>\n<li>C) Elephant parades are not a feature of Theyyam. Elephants are sometimes used in other religious festivals in Kerala, but they are not used in Theyyam.<\/li>\n<li>D) Boat races are not a feature of Theyyam.
