The Theyyams' attire is highly unique Pattu, Vitanathara, Kannimundu, Chirakuduppu Velumban, etc. The outfit made to look like a floor is referred to as a Vithanam. The Kuruthola dress. The delicate coconut leaves are separated from their stalks and wrapped around the waist as a dress. The Theyyam who wear delicate coconut leaves Kuruthola are Chamundi Guikan and Pottantheyyam (wearing a mask on their faces). These outfits, which are created from fragile coconut leaves, are also referred to as Oliyuduppu or 'Olayuduppu '(dress made from coconut leaves). In this instance, Theyyam transforms into two distinct levels of representation of the same image, indicating that Theyyam is created by the fusion of different objects and colours from nature. The ceremonial adornments and artefacts for Theyyam are collected from nature only.
