The Vellaringattu tharavad at Pala

For generations, the ancestral Vellaringattu home in Pala has been the place the family returns to. Children grew up within its walls, weddings and baptisms were blessed from its doorstep, and visitors and pilgrims were always welcomed to its table.

The tharavad is more than a house — it is the thread that ties together more than three hundred documented members of the family, across Kerala, the Gulf, Europe and America.
