Maranat Mana, located in Malappuram District, Kerala is one of the few existing ‘Pathinaru kettu’, a 4 courtyard residence that belongs to a Namboodiri Family. This grand edifice, initially constructed in the 1850's using traditional Kerala style architecture, also portrays various foreign influences in its changes made over time.

ABOUT LOCHANA
Lochana Heritage and Beyond is a collective initiative spearheaded by CEARTH with the participation of various heritage enthusiasts who are well renowned in their respective fields. The word 'Lochana' means to illuminate. Through this social venture, we seek to shed some light on our fading heritage, which at present remains unknown to the public realm beyond the local vicinity through a series of video documentaries.

The purpose of this is to generate an authentic database and create public awareness about India’s rich heritage with a focus on Kerala at present, which includes architectural edifices, art forms, cultural practices, values etc. that have evolved over time while engaging with the changing geographic, climatic, social and political setting.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE!!!
