ᴋᴀᴛᴀɴᴋᴏᴛᴛ ᴍᴀᴋᴋᴀᴍ- The Myth.
A regional Hindu goddess worshiped in the North Malabar region in Kerala, India. Makkam is worshipped and performed as Theyyam form, known as Makkappothi or Makkavum makkalum (literally meaning Makkam and her children)

According to the myths, Makkam and her two children were killed by her eleven brothers, and they attained divine status after their death.
It is believed that Makkamm is the daughter of Unicheriya of Kadangot family of Kunhimangalam near Payyannur
 in  Kannur district. She was the only sister among the 12 warrior brothers of Kolathiri king. Makkam is said to be a daughter who was born with great splendor when her parents prayed a lot for a girl child, after the birth of 12 sons.

She grew up to be the beloved sister of 12 brothers. Makkam had twins named Chathu and Chiru, from his marriage to his uncle's (mother's brother) son, Kuttinambar. As it was the time of war between Neriyot kingdom and Kolathiri, her brothers joined the war. She and her sons lived with the wives of brothers. The wives of brothers, who did not like her, decided to trick her.

They made scandalous stories about Makkam and a Vaniyan who used to bring oil to the house. It was at the time when Makkam' brothers were returning from the war that Vaniyan brought oil, Makkam looked around for her sisters-in-law but she could not find them. Makam asked him to put the oil inside the room while the wives of brothers hid. By the time Vaniyan came out with the oil inside, the wives had reached there with their husbands, and told them that Makkam had illegal relations with Vaniyan. Believing their wife's slander, the brothers decide to kill Makkam. But the younger brother and his wife left the house rejecting the decision to kill.

When called to go to a festival in Kottayam, Makam realizes their evil intentions, but Makkam sets off with his brothers, praying her family deity Veera Chamundi and lighting a lamp to prove her innocence. They walked praying in the temples of each area they went to. By the time they reached the river at Chala, Makkam and her children were exhausted and thirsty. At this time, a young Muslim man who passed by showed them Puthiya pura tharavad in Chala. Makam went to the tharavad for water for the children. Hearing the movement, the old woman came out and Makkam told her that the children were thirsty. The mother of the family came with a full cup of boiled milk and gave it to Makkam and her children.

Although the old woman said that it was still a long way to Kottayam and that the children could not walk, they could be accommodated at the home, but Makam put one of her rings in the milk container and set off with her children.

When they saw a well near Kayalode Achankarappalli, Makkam and his children went there to quench their thirst. Her brothers reached there and slaughtered Makkam and the two children and threw them into the well. A Mavilan man who witnessed the incident was also stabbed to death. Only Kuti Rama, the youngest brother, did not join in this cruelty of his elder brothers.

Later is the revenge of the Makkam. The ancestral home of Kunhimangalam was burnt to ashes. Only the room with Veera Chamundi's presence remained unburnt. Except for Kuti Rama and his wife, the brothers and their wives also died. The locals were convinced of Makkam's innocence.

Makam, who became a god, asked the old woman of Tharavad at Chala, in a dream, to build a shrine for her and her children in their Tharavad. Soon the people decided to worship Makkam, her children and Mavilan who died with her.
