Answer:
B. Theyyam
Read Explanation:
Theyyam is a Hindu religious ritual practiced in northern Kerala and some parts of Karnataka.
Theyyam is also known as Kaḷiyattam or Tira. Theyyam consists of traditions, rituals and customs associated with temples and sacred groves of Malabar.
The people of the region consider Theyyam itself as a channel to a god and they thus seek blessings from Theyyam.
Vellattam or Thottam is the first part of the Theyyam performance. It is performed with only a small red headdress and no proper make-up or any decorative costume is used during this occasion. Then the dancers are accompanied with drummers and they recite a particular ritual song, which describes the myths and legends of the deity of the shrine to be propitiated.
