Two
hundred years has passed but the saga goes on, you can
still hear the horses galloping mounted on them valiant
Pachuveedu soldiers Caparisoned Elephants against the
backdrop of fullit temple lamps. Lush green paddy fields
and swaying coconut trees where once artisans performed
in massive courtyards under the watchful eyes of Karnavars
and elegantly dressed gossiping Nair ladies
all this has become memories to recall.
Today
the massive Nalukettu remains only in sweet memories.
The huge structure has been donated to CHINMAYA MISSION,
Who in turn demolished it and turned into a citadel
of 3Rs (Primary Education). Today what remains of Pachuveedu
is a Pathayapura a multistoried tiled structure with
multifarious ivngrooms/storerooms/pathayams etc. This
belongs to Parukuttyamma and her children. The family
deities protect the structure in silent memories.
It
is here some members of Pachuveedu Tharavadu meet in
the month of April every year to worship & propitiate
the family deities. All those present attend the daylong
rituals. This annual get together is an opportunity
for all members of Pachuveedu to recall the glorious
and colourful days of the past when the entire family
operated under one of a Karanavur. All members of Pachuveedu
are solicited to avail this opportunity to meet and
exchange greetings while propitiating the family deities.

"Deva
Prasnam" |
|
The
present location of the family deities of Pachuveedu
Tharavadu are to be shifted to a new location. This
is found necessary as a result of 'Deva Prasnam' which
reveals numerous shortfalls, inadequicies of rituals
and most unsatisfactory surroundings. As a consequence
of this situation the family members are inflicted with
health problems, financial difficulties and other family
problems. The alternate location found acceptible to
the deities in the 'Deva Prasnam' is the Pothu muttam.
In view of the above efforts are underway to costruct
new structures and shift the deities. As a prelude to
this endeavor 'Shanthi Poojas' were required to be performed
to ward off the evils and remove obstacles if any in
achieving the desired objective of shifting to the new
location .These 'Shanthi Poojas' were held on 2nd and
3rd Feb. 2002 and all the rituals performed were of
high standard and fully in conformity with the wishes
of the deities. Family members and well wishers are
solicted to make liberal Contributions for this venture
Contribution for this devine cause by Cheque/DD/Cash
