Mayilattam
Mayilattam is an artistic and religious form of dance performed in the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in reverence to Murugan, a regional form of the Hindu deity Kartikeya. Literally translating as the "peacock dance",[1] the performers seat themselves upon a peacock replica, which is the mount of the deity.[2]
