Muthappan is a deity commonly worshiped in the Kannur, Kasaragod region of Kerala and Coorg region of Karnataka in India. Muthappan is considered as the personification of two Hindu gods — the Thiruvappan or Valiya Muthapan (Vishnu) and the Vellatom or Cheriya Muthapan
The shrine where Muthappan is worshipped is called Madappura. The Parassinikadavu Madappura in Kannur district in Kerala, India is the most important.
Though Sree Muthappan is worshiped as a single deity, it actually represents an integrated or unified form of two gods: Vishnu (with a fish-shaped crown) and Shiva (with a crescent-shaped crown).
Sri Muthappan's Theyyams are performed year-round whereas other Theyyams are seasonal .
