Kuttichathan is a widely acclaimed theyyam throughout Kerala.
Kuttichathan is the theyyam of Bhrahmin caste. Kuttichathan theyyam is considered to be originated for Lord Shiva in Vishnu Maaya. Though there are lot of chathans known, three of them are prominent and standout from the rest. They are Karim Kuttichathan, Poo Kuttichathan and Thee Kuttichathan.
Karim Kuttichathan is believed to be part of Vishnu and Thee Kuttichathan part of Lord Shiva.
Its widely believed that Kuttichathan would carryout any kind of wish to those who make chathan happy through continuous prayer from the heart.
The naughty character and the famour Chathan Throw(Chathan Er) is also widely popular.
There were lot of black magicians even in Kerala who were blessed and assisted by Kuttichathan.
There was a very famous Bhrahman society in a place called Porakunn near to Payyannur in Kannur District of Kerala. It was called Kaala katt Mana.
Kuttichathan theyyam is deeply associated with Kaalakatt Mana and thus its also known by the name Kaalakatt Kuttichathan.
The childless couple in Kaalakatt family was blessed with kid which they called Kuttichathan. Its considered that Lord Shiva and Parvathy, once became valluvan and valluvathy and the kid was born for them during that time.
He started displaying characters not characteristics of Bhrahmin kid when he grew up.
Extremely quick to grasp and never obeyed any of the teachers.
One of the teachers who go angry at Kuttichathan was immediately killed by Kuttichathan. He left the school right on that day.Once he even killed a cow and drank its blood. His activities were so out of control that the elders in Kaalakatt family one day killed Kuttichathan. But Kuttichathan didnt die.They made him into 390 small pieces and put him into 21 different fire created for Homa.
But to their dismay, lot of Kuttichathan got generated from each of the fire.
Each of the Kuttichathan performed fire dance and burnt Kaala Katt Illam and all the related areas of Kaala katt Illam. Chathan took its destructuve form and created a lot of havoc in the area. Namboodiri and others in society decided to consider chathan as devine and perform him in the form of Theyyam. Thus Kuttichathan became a theyyam. Eminent artist called Chala Perumalayan was the first one to perform Kuttichathan as theyyam.
Kuttichathan is performed every year in Kaala kaatt Illam. Another place where Kuttichathan is performed is Chaalora, in kannur district of Kerala.
There are lot of tales that mentions the strength of Chathan.
Once an elder in Kaala Katt Illam who was a Namboodiri, went to Calicut and there he thought about getting some coconut oil for his temple. He went to a Sett's shop and asked for some coconut oil. Sett asked if he has a vessel to take home the coconut oil. Namboodiri said that the only thing he has bought with him is his towel. Sett in a mocking tone said, then take coconut oil in that.
Namboodiri prayed Chathan and agreed to this. Sett started pouring oil and not a single drop seeped through. Meanwhile the oil vessel in Chalora illam got filled with coconut oil. Thus sett was defeated.
Kuttichathan is considered to do anything who pray him. But for those who do not do the prayers in a proper way, the effect would be reverse.
Lines in the Thottam of Kuttichathan also emphasis this fact that Kuttichathan originated from Homa Kunda. But the Thottam mentions that chathan is not as problematic as its usually believed.
