Kummatty is a mysterious figure of the folklore of a remote village tucked away in the windswept plains of Malabar where the grass grows tall and the migratory birds fill the sky. For the children of the village, Kummatty is a bogeyman and a magician rolled into one. Generations of children have been told that one day Kummatty will descend on the village to nab mischief-makers.
