- Framed by the Western Ghats, paddy fields and verdant greenery are the architectural gems of Palakkad. These showcase the magnificence of #Kerala's traditional vernacular architecture. Built-in accordance with the lay of the land, each house has a distinctive identity. Many have been homes for more than 300 years.

Really appreciate the current generation of these families for having preserved these gems ...rather than dividing and selling them....very challenging to maintain such structures....
Nothing much done to maintain..it remains due to the Build Quality! 😷🙏
@@gokul9039 actually it's a bit difficult .
I understand the point of long lastivity .but many of the houses also need repairs and the availability of proper masons or huge salary or time taken to repair some portions itself runs to lakhs and is actually not a very interesting fact .
The biggest challenge is long structure and less lights inside and highly carved spaces require more polish costs and Cleaning dusts itself are a timely affair
Kerala truly has some of the best traditional houses in the western coast. Please preserve them. I really miss the old traditional house my grandfather had built in Mangalore. It was small but beautiful.

Old Kerala was full of untouchability and strong caste discriminations that resulted in Swami Vivekananda calling it lunatic asylum..
@@snavarag we r talking about architecture fool not the social norms
Yes traditional keralite/southern Hindu culture was and is the best in the whole World. Keralites who have converted to other cultures are playing big role in ruining this beautiful traditional Hindu culture
I am Tamil i don't know y i am happy when i hear malayalam it's a cool language
Tamil is also cool
Mutual respect is always welcome. I carry the same feeling while listening to Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Tulu and Telugu. Southern India is unique in itself. Let us be together and grow together.
Yeah same to tamil
May be because malayalam is an offshoot of Tamil language .
Kerala was one of the 7 janapadas (kingdoms) of Bharata (i.e Indian subcontinent) along with Tulanga (tulu region), Konkana (konkan region) etc that were collectively known as the 'Parashurama Kshetra' (i.e creation of parashurama) and Kerala was one of the 3 janapadas (kingdoms) of Dravidadesha (dravida region) meaning the southernmost region of Bharata (Indian subcontinent) along with Pandya Kingdom and Chola Kingdom as according to the Sanskrit scripture's (i.e Puranas) since known history.
:
The land of 'Kerala or Keralajanapadha or Keralaputhra' in Indian history since the 3rd Century B.C to 12th Century C.E referred to as Malayalam, Malanadu, Malamandalam etc in Kerala history after the Sanskrit word 'Malaya' as denoting the western ghats did not consist of any region east of the Ghats or the region of Tamil Nadu once referred to as 'Kongu-Nadu, Pandi-Nadu, Chola-Nadu etc' in Indian history hence the 1st century and 2nd century European travelers specifically refers to the capital of Keralaputhra as situated 20 stadia (3 km) inland from the sea-coast or in present day Kerala.
:
The kings of Kerala are referred to as belonging to the Keralakula (i.e Kerala-Dynasty) in the Oldest Sanskrit works of Kerala as the sovereign of Kerala was titled as ‘Keralaputhra’ in Sanskrit since the 3rd Century B.C and similarly Yakshan Keralan, Godha Keralan, Kerala Narayanan, Keralan Srikumaran etc are the various other personal names of Keralites as present in the Oldest Inscriptions of Kerala in Old Malayalam since the 9th century C.E as the Kerala-Country and its capital was under the dominion of the Naaduvaazhikal (i.e vallabhapattanam king, mahodhayapattanam king, kolambhapattanam king etc) as attested by native records and foreign travelers including Al-Biruni since the 11th century C.E
:
For Example: "Malabar (i.e Malayalam Country) is a great province lying towards the west 'of the province of Bandi (i.e Pandya)' and the people here have a language of their own and a king of their own and pay tribute to nobody." - Marco Polo (13th century C.E).
:
It is accepted by Tamil Nadu scholars that the Sanskrit term 'Chola' was written as 'SoRa' in the various Tamil inscriptions of the Chola-Dynasty and similarly, the 'Kerala' kings were referred to as 'SeRa' in the inscriptions of the Invaders from Tamil Nadu until the 12th century C.E as the term 'Sera or Seralan' in Tamil is the transliteration of 'Kerala' in Sanskrit whereas the term 'Pandi or Pandiyan' in Tamil is the transliteration of 'Pandya' in Sanskrit as the term 'Sora or Soran' in Tamil is the transliteration of 'Chola' in Sanskrit hence the land of Kerala was referred to as Cheraman-Nadu, Cheraman-Loka, Chera-Bhumi etc in Kerala records itself.
:
For Example: "...sarvam eve anupashyata tathaiva Andhran cha Pundran cha Cholan, Pandyan, Keralan." - Valmiki Ramayanam - Kishkindha Kanda
:
The 7th century to 12th century inscriptions of Tamil Nadu refers to multiple Pandya kings and Chola kings as having invaded the region of “Malainadu or Kerala” and the Tamil Nadu king Raja Raja Chola (985 C.E -1014 C.E) in his inscriptions on the conquest of Kerala claims that his army invaded the country which was the Creation Of Parashurama (Kerala) and plundered the town of Vizhinjam, Kollam, Kodungallur etc which itself shows that the land of Kerala was known as the Parashurama Kshetra (i.e creation of parashurama) among even the non-keralites in history.
:
The ancient European travelers of the 1st and 2nd century C.E have referred to the geographical region of North India or the land between Himalaya mountains and Vindhya mountains as 'Ariaca' after the Sanskrit word 'Aryaka' (i.e Aryadesha) whereas they referred to the geographical region of Kerala (i.e Keralaputhra) as 'Damirica' after the Sanskrit word 'Dramidaka' (i.e Dramidadesha) meaning the southernmost region of Bharata (i.e Indian subcontinent) hence the Oldest literary works and inscriptions of Kerala itself refers to the geographical region of Kerala as 'Dramida' in which the city of Mahodayapuram (i.e Makkothayarpattanam in Old Malayalam) or Thiruvanchikulam (i.e Srianjanakhalam in Sanskrit) or Muyirikodu (muziris) in Old Malayalam as situated on the banks of the river Periyar (i.e Mahanadhi, Choorni etc in Sanskrit) was the capital of the Kerala king titled as 'Keraladhinatha' in Sanskrit or 'Cherabhumishvara' in Malayalam (i.e Keralabhasha).
:
For Example: "Keralaanaam dramida shabdhavaachythvaad apabhramshena tadbhaasha tamizh ithyuchyathe" - Lilathilakam - Meaning - "The language of Kerala is known as Tamizh in the vernacular through the phonetic modification of the word Dramida."
:
The term 'Tamizhakam' in the Tamil grammar Tolkapiyam itself is the transliteration of 'Dramidaka' in Sanskrit and not denoting a single culture or language or kingdom or history but a common geographical region as consisting of KL and TN thereby the author has recognised 12 regional dialects in which 5 dialects are pertaining to Kerala and 7 dialects are pertaining to Tamil Nadu just as the Tamil grammar Nannul of the 13th century hence the Kerala records have also differentiated the language of Dramida (i.e Tamizh) into Pandyabhasha (pandi language), Cholabhasha (chola language) and Keralabhasha (malayalam language) in history.
:
The inscriptions of Kerala as dated between the 9th century C.E and 12th Century C.E is referred to as 'Old Malayalam' by linguists because the inscriptions of Kerala as dated between the 13th century C.E and 16th century C.E shows linguistic continuity with minimal differences hence it is termed as 'Middle Malayalam' by linguists.Malayalam language (i.e Keralabhasha) is just as old and classical as any other Dravidian languages including Tamil hence the phonology and vocabulary of Keralites to this very day are found in the Oldest mythological literary works and inscriptions of Tamil Nadu (ex. njan, njandu, thudangi, pettu, aliyan, achan etc) as the grammatical principles of Malayalam language (i.e Keralabhasha) was contrasting from the ‘Tamizh’ of the inhabitants of Tamil Nadu due to the phonological and morphological differences between the regional languages of the East and West of the Ghats mountain ranges since known history. (Ex. Njan in Malayalam is Nan in Tamil)
:
The terms 'Tamizh, Naazhi, Pazham, Pavizham, Makizham etc' in Old Malayalam are all derived from the Sanskrit words 'Dramida, Naadi, Phala, Pravala, Makula etc' as such phonetic modifications or transliterations of Sanskrit words are present in all the Dravidian languages since known literary history and similarly, the terms 'Ketala, Choda, Pada' etc in the Ashoka Edicts of the 3rd Century B.C in Prakrit language are the transliterations of the Sanskrit word 'Kerala, Chola, Pandya' etc as attested by all linguists today.
:
The terms Cherakon (i.e Keralakularaaja in Sanskrit), Kunnalakon (i.e Shailabdhishvara in Sanskrit), Valluvakon (i.e Vallabhakshoni in Sanskrit), Piraamanar (i.e Brahmana in Sanskrit) etc as found in Old Malayalam and Middle Malayalam inscriptions and literary works are NOT denoting the people of Tamil Nadu or 'Tamilans' irrespective of caste referred to as a 'Pandi, Chola, Konga, Thonda' in all of known Indian history but the people of Kerala referred to as 'Keralar' and 'Malayalar' alone in Indian history.
:
For Example:
The kings of Kerala were referred to as 'Malayala Thiruvadi' in the inscription of South India as dated to the 13th Century C.E while the kings of Tamil Nadu were referred to as Pandya and Chola in the same inscription of the Kakatiya Dynasty of South India because the people of Tamil Nadu now known as 'Tamilans' were referred to as a 'Pandi, Chola, Konga, Thonda' in all of known Indian history including Kerala literary works until the 14th Century C.E while the people of Kerala including the Kings were referred to as 'Keralar' and 'Malayalar' alone in Indian history.
:
The region of modern Tamil Nadu as consisting of dharmapuri, salem, coimbatore etc as comprising of an earlier independent territorial unit known as ‘Kongu-Nadu’ were under their local chieftains referred to as 'Adiya or Adiyaman' until the 12th Century C.E in Indian history whereas it is the land of Kerala as comprising of the independent territorial unit known as ‘Malayalam’ or 'Malabar' who were under the local chieftains referred to as ‘Chera or Cheraman’ until the 12th century C.E in Indian history.
:
For Example: "The pagans (Hindus) of Malabar (Kerala) believes that a king (i.e a King of Kerala or Cheraman) had once ascended up to heaven and they continue to expect his descent therefore they assemble at cranganore (Kodungallur) and keep ready there wooden sandals, water and adorn the place with lamps and decorations on a certain night of the year" - Tuhfat al Mujahidin (16th Century C.E)
:
The Dravidian languages of Malayalam, Tamil, Tulu, Kannada, Telugu etc including the Tribal Languages (ex. Irula, Kurumba etc) as consisting of common/similar words are all emerging from a Proto-Dravidian language meaning an undocumented common spoken language in pre-history as attested by all linguists today hence there are places with common names in Kerala and Tamil Nadu even today (ex. Thondi, Musiri etc) thus it doesn't mean that the places of Kerala or 'Keralaputhra' referred to as Tyndis, Muziris etc by the travelers in the past were referring to the settlement of the people of Tamil Nadu or ‘Tamilans’ referred to as a 'Pandi, Chola, Konga, Thonda' in all of known Indian history including Kerala literary works until the 14th Century C.E but the people of Kerala referred to as ‘Keralar' and 'Malayalar' alone in Indian history.
:
For Example:
“Among all the places in the world I have seen none equal to the Port of Alexandria except Kawlam (Kollam in Kerala) and Calicut (Kozhikodu in Kerala) in India” - Ibn Battuta (14th century C.E)

Kudos to THE HINDU for showcasing the ancient best of the God's own country. I am homeless and that's why one day, when I get a house, I intend to build my home with inspiration from these traditional houses.
Kerela is really one of the most significant states in terms of tourism and heritage
In terms of development too, Generally people think Kerala is just nature, but if you see it's infrastructure , airport , service sectors, technical investment Infrastructure and health services

@@AJ-np3rn not in terms of development, by development TN and UP ( in terms of infrastructure) and Karnataka etc are way ahead of us. The top being gujarat in terms of infrastructure but our heritage is our nature and if we really use it properly we can profit hella lot thru tourism.

Even my Ancestral home in Mangalore and Udupi have had the same Architecture as the ones shown here(although most of it have been replaced with modern cement sheets and wooden carvings/designs have been changed ). 2 years have passed since I've been there, Seeing this video brought a lot of Childhood memories back!
Not visiting ur ancestral home for 2 yrs and cherishing by watching TH-cam videos and expecting others to live there and maintain it while u enjoy the city pleasures ? Sounds selfish
Classical architecture is one of the highlight in Kerala's tradition. But they couldn't not revive it with the time, hence it became mere classical at present. Almost all Keralites I talked are much vocal to it's goodness, but none of them are found to be implemented it in their structures. They are now behind the 'magnificence ' of the imported contemporary architecture that further warms the already hot Nature. If they are settling in another country and if they want to preserve their traditional identity, architecture is one of the effective idea. Religionisation is the another fact that made the Vaastu irrational in many phases, causing its popularity and acceptance diminished to very bottom level. Another goodness the Kerala loosing at present is the Tall Coconut trees, one of the main contributers to its natural beauty.
Maintenance is extremely costly with regular replacement of the roof tiles. If you are not well off and cannot do that, the house will be leaking heavily during rains. And I am speaking from experience having stayed in tiled houses(regular houses, not like the big ones showed here) in my childhood ..!! This is one of the reasons people started going for the current structure .
Kerala architecture was the legacy our trade with China or even Japan which means our architecture is not developed by native keralaites or Indians. Just look at the temple architecture of kerala and Tamilnadu. Only the trivandrum temple looks different because it was built by the venad dynasty which came from and other side of the border.
@@abeninan4017 It was not only the architecture but the language, social system, religious practices, social customs, festivals, arts etc of Keralam were all quite distinct from Tamilnadu and elsewhere in south India since known history. It is you who came from the other side of the border.
- For Example: “In this land of Malabar (Kerala) from cumbla (kasaragod district) to cape comorin (kanyakumari district), all men use one tongue only which they call Maliama” (i.e Malayalam). - Duarte Barbosa (1480-1521).

Seeing these magnificent creations, we become proud of our traditional architecture, but we rarely appreciate and acknowledge the skills and art of the traditional artisans of our state. These unique large houses should be preserved for the future under some government schemes and can also be used as places of tourism importance.👍👍👍
Traditional architecture never fails to get my attention
They are perfect houses for tropical climate. Similar houses are found in Tamil Nadu also.👍👍

Awesome ❤️ love from KARNATAKA. Even Karnataka has got similar traditional houses. You find it more in coastal region more. You also find traditional houses which are quite unique in architecture in Malnad region and south Karnataka regions. Again in Malnad region Coorg houses are little different. Mysore regions have quite unique traditional houses. North Karnataka is having its own unique traditional houses which are different from the rest of the south Karnataka.
Old Kerala start from Kanyakumari and end at Gokarnam... Same culture
@@india9unknown why only Gokarna? Tell old Kerala was till coastal Gujarat. I'm from coastal Karnataka ( Byndoor, Udupi ). I'll be the right person to clear your doubts and assumptions. Please delete your wrong assumptions from your mind. There is no similarities between Kerala and coastal Karnataka at all except few similarities with Mangaluru/ Kudla region.

Beautiful! Soothing!
Most of these old houses are either being taken down or left unchecked mainly due to lack of money for maintenance and broken families.
Earlier they would have big families living together but nowadays everyone prefers a separate house and nuclear family.
Excellent coverage; would love more such content.

Let’s not forget that only the upper caste people lived in such mansions for centuries. They used to throw food on the ground for the large numbers of lower caste workers. These workers were often beat up in front of many of these big houses.
Sir, according to the European historians, more than 80 percent of medieval Europeans were illiterate agricultural labourers or serfs for generations upon generations unlike the royalty there but in the modern day, everyone admire their medieval architecture.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that these "architectural marvel" were the result of huge wealth disparity in those days and the feudalists that lived there amassed wealth by brutal exploitation of the so called "avarna" tenants
Sir, Do you think that there were no avarnas aka chandalas elsewhere in India ? Casteism was not only In Kerala or India but according to the European historians, more than 80 percent of medieval Europeans were illiterate agricultural labourers or serfs apart from the slaves there for generations upon generations unlike their royalty but in the modern day, everyone admire their medieval architecture.
Sir, please watch some videos regarding the 'architectural marvels' of elsewhere in India where the Indian hindus irrespective of their earlier caste distinctions are all proud of the medieval architecture of their state but why is it that it is only here that there are so many people like you who are pretending to believe that caste-system, chandalas etc were only in Kerala ? Is it because you do not know about the social hierarchy and history of elsewhere in India ?
Sir, it is an open-fact that the lower-caste Hindus including the Chandalas everywhere in India were poor unlike the upper-caste Hindus including the Kings and that the discrimination of lower-caste Hindus including the Chandalas as prevailed in India by the upper-caste Hindus including the Kings in history became illegal through social revolution yet even after knowing such facts, the Hindus irrespective of their earlier caste distinctions elsewhere in India including south india are all proud of the medieval architecture of their state in the modern day. If you do not believe me, please ask any Hindus in the states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu etc.
Sir, what is it that you are arguing here ? It is your ignorant assumption that the so called lower-caste Hindus elsewhere in India are ignorant to be proud of the medieval architecture of their state.
what is there to appreciate about feudal landlords?

Indeed there are beautiful architectural structures in palakkad and in some of the areas of malappuram district which were once called together as Valluvanadu. Most of the remaining mansions are either inhabited by the family members to preserve the legacy of their ancestral home which were once the aristocracy or has been idled. There are many reasons why they have been deserted is that, due to the dispute among the members of the family or due to the economical unwell to preserve these. Many have been demolished too. Needed to say, some of the occupied ones are well maintained too.
The parts of Palakkad that include Ottapalam and Pattambi were called Nedunganad. Valluvanad taluk was created by the British by merging Nedunganad with valluvanad. This was reversed by the creation of Malappuram district in 1969 when erstwhile valluvanad was separated from the then Palakkad district , leaving Nedunganad behind.
@@kiranm8817 mannarkakad taluk of palakkad district is part of valluvanad Kingdom, and modern valluvanad (valluvanad, nedunganadu and kavalappara) is same culture and heritage, I don't know the reason

Muslim influence is less pronounced in Nedunganad than Valluvanad .culturally speaking most of the classical art forms thrived in Nedunganad especially in areas like Vellinezhi and then there are special folk art forms like puthan thira which is more prevalent there.
@@kiranm8817 shournur and Ottapalam is part of kavalappara, a historic reason is behind the less Islamic influence in kavalappara, they are not part of nedunganadu, but pattambi (thrithala is part of ponnani) mannarkakad and perinthalmanna is same language and same culture,

@@sreejithsiva7885 If You See The Demographics Change In Kerala Which Has been Going on Post Independence It's Similar To The Kashmir & Once Kashmir Became Muslim Majority There Would be No Place For Non Muslims Kafirs , Other Living Things , Hindus Faith & Ecosystem.
Lakhs of People Forced to Leave Their Home, Land, Wife & Properties
All Brutalities & Inhumane Attrocities Was Done by Islamists .
