Mudiyettu is a ritualistic dance springing from the Bhagavathi ro Bhadrakali cult. The theme depicts the glory and triumph of Bhagavathy over the demon Darika.
The characters are all heavily made up with gorgeous costumes, intricate and elaborate with conventional face paintings, tall head-gears etc.

Attired and adorned exotically, the characters seem quite super natural. The dance is performed by a set of people known as kuruppanmar, mainly in the Bhadrakali Temple. A kolam of kali is first made, to which floral offerings and other rituals are made. Then it is taken around the temple to the accompaniment of percussion instruments.

The kolam is then installed in a suitable place. In the first part, Narada, the celestial sage, is seen informing Lord Shiva of the evil deeds of the demon Darika and the consequent sufferings of the people. Shiva agrees to send Bhadrakali to kill Darika. In the next phase, Bhadrakali and Darika enter and the whole temple yard is turned into a battle field. In the end, Bhadrakali kills Darika.Chenda and elathalam are the instruments used.
