I took Mr. Lidin's tour in January and it was a life changing experience. I visited in November and loved it so much I decided to come back for a Theyyam immersive experience. Spent several days with Lidin going to different rituals. The rituals themselves were incredible, but it's Lidin that makes the experience so memorable. He's extremely attentive, accommodating, and knowledgable. He knows so much about this which is very impressive because there is so much to learn about this spectacular ritual. If you're in Kerala, or India for that matter, you have to come for this experience. There truly is nothing like it.

Mr. Lidin's theyyam tour was an unforgettable trip. We went to Niliyar Bagavati Temple and saw the magnificent theyyam performance live. Lidin guided us through the process, and we had a brief interaction with the performers before to the event. This adds a lot of enthusiasm and energy to witness the performance. This is more than just a tour; it's a wonderful experience!
