The story goes that Muchilottu Bhagavathi was a woman who could out-debate the scholars.

For that, she was cast out.

She walked into burning coals and returned as a goddess.

I kept thinking about that fire.

What if it never left her?

So I imagined it as a red line rising through bronze, through the forehead, through the crown.

An original character made in homage to Theyyam of North Malabar, never a replacement for the living ritual.
