Theyyam is a form of ritual worship of a certain sect of Hinduism, found almost exclusively in Kannur and Thalassery. However, with roots stretching back to prehistory, worshipers of various religions can be found at these rituals.
The performers are almost exclusively members of the lowest castes and while adorned like this, they become gods, distributing blessings, instilling fear and piety, etc.
Performers will often cleanse themselves for a month before the ritual, abstaining from alcohol, sex, tobacco, etc.
There are hundreds of different forms of Theyyam, all with individual meaning and pertaining to particular gods/temples.
Explore this remarkable spectacle of color and movement with us this January.
There are a few spaces available on our January 16-30 South India photo tour led by @tknana_photo and @wellspoint

What makes our fly-cruise so exceptional?
1️⃣ Save time + skip the seasickness. A 2-hour flight takes you directly from Chilean Patagonia to Antarctica. This is a 4-HOUR round-trip versus the 4-DAY round-trip most visitors have to endure. You save TONS of time and avoid the famously stormy, treacherous Drake Passage.
2️⃣ Sail Antarctica in style and comfort. This is a boutique-style wilderness adventure, aboard a vessel that is more like a private yacht than a cruise ship. Its smaller size gives us privileged access to Antarctica, taking you where larger ships cannot.
3️⃣ Explore with no wait time. Due to tight rules regulating Antarctic tourism, only 100 passengers can be ashore at any one time. Our ship has a max of 76 (within which our smaller group gets special perks), so you’ll never be on a “second rotation.” Spend your time exploring, not waiting!
4️⃣ An outstanding expedition team. The onboard expedition team will blow you away with their expertise & professionalism, and the high staff-to-traveler ratio allows a rare personal connection that enables response to individual interests.
5️⃣ VIP treatment + a bonus for photographers. Our small group onboard is usually the only one with a professional tour leader attending to them. Moreover, ours is a professional photo instructor, Temu Nana, who enthusiastically shares his skills with our guests. Having led our December 2019, 2021 and 2022 Antarctic fly-cruises already, he knows this experience inside and out.
We have 1 final spot available on our December 11-18, 2023 trip (on an otherwise sold out ship... in fact, practically all of December-February is sold out aboard Magellan Explorer, so this is coveted space!).
Heed the call of the gentoos! ➡️ Email us at [email protected] or phone at +1.212.441.0024 if you are interested in booking.

Enjoy an unforgettable sunrise visit to the incomparable Taj Mahal.
A few words from our Tour Leader, Temu Nana… “I have been fortunate to visit many world-famous sites and buildings, but the Taj is simply, sublimely different. Despite the crowds, despite the heat, despite the towering expectations...it blows me away every single time.”
Interested in seeing the Taj and/or exploring some of India’s less-frequented areas?
Join @TKnana_photo @thewellspoint on a photo journey through southern India (with add-ons to the Taj and #varanasi ) January 16-30, 2024.

Gentoo penguins are the most commonly encountered penguin on the Antarctic Peninsula. Not only do they have a pleasant, throaty call, but they’re constantly collecting rocks for their nest, often stealing from others nests to add to their own!
We’re heading back this Dec 2023 for another incredible photo journey to Antarctica! Fly across the Drake and embark your luxury expedition vessel in Antarctic waters, explore the continent, and hang out with some gentoos on their turf:)
See link in bio for details.
