Vellinezhi village, which is located in Cherplassery in Palakkad district of Kerala, is home to the majestic Olappamanna Mana. A testament to the rich cultural legacy of the land, this ancestral abode is rooted in the traditions and belief systems of the Namboodiri Brahmins who are native to Cherplassery.Â
The Olappamanna Mana has always been a centre for scholarly and artistic excellence for years. It is widely renowned for its deep-seated relationship with Kathakali, percussion arts, classical music, literature, Vedic education, and Sanskrit studies as well. One of the most famous personalities the Mana is associated with is Pattikkamthoti Ravunni Menon, one of the legends who played an enormous role in using his innovative Kalluvazhi Chitta to shape and develop Kathakali to its modern form. This magnificent edifice has also been home to literary greats like Mahakavi Olappamanna, OMC Nambuthiripad, Sumangala, OM Anujan and many more.Â
A residence with old world grandeur and beauty the Mana has a history of over 300 years. It is not only a symbol of the immense power and influence held by the family but also an ode to their contributions to education and art. Visitors to the Mana find themselves in a world where indigenous art forms are carefully preserved as well as celebrated.Â
With a unique blend of heritage and artistry, the Olappamanna Mana is a delight to explore. It is no wonder that this beautiful Mana has often been featured in mainstream Malayalam films. A space wherein the music, art, literature and traditional dance forms of God’s Own Country all mingle in peace and harmony.Â
