Thunjan parambu
The holy Thunchan Parambu, located 32 kilometres from Malappuram in Tirur, is the birthplace of Thunchath Ezhuthachan, the father of Malayalam language. This tract of land has been meticulously conserved for posterity, with artefacts such as the scholar and literary giant’s iron stylus on exhibit. On the auspicious day of Vijayadasami, children are brought here to be launched into the world of education and knowledge. One of the prized exhibits here is an ancient kanjira tree (Nux vomica) under which he is said to have given wisdom to his adoring students and written his songs. A granite Saraswathi Mandapam and a library of rare manuscripts are also housed in the memorial.
