DESCRIPTION:Tirur’s Thunchan Festival is an established annual literary a
 nd cultural celebration held at Thunchan Parambu\, the birthplace of Thunc
 hath Ramanujan Ezhuthachan\, widely regarded as the father of the Malayala
 m language. Organised around the Thunchan Memorial and its continuing prog
 ramme of literary and cultural activities\, the festival brings together w
 riters\, poets\, scholars\, artists\, students and readers to celebrate Ma
 layalam literature and Kerala’s wider intellectual heritage. Thunchath E
 zhuthachan\, a major figure of Malayalam literature associated with the 16
 th century\, is remembered particularly for his influential renderings of 
 the Ramayana and Mahabharata and for his contribution to the development a
 nd popularisation of Malayalam literary language and script. Thunchan Para
 mbu preserves this legacy through a literary museum\, research library\, m
 anuscript collection and cultural spaces\, including the Saraswathi Mandap
 am. The annual Thunchan Festival is traditionally held around January or F
 ebruary\, with Kerala Tourism describing it as a multi-day cultural event 
 featuring literary seminars\, poetry readings\, cultural discussions\, mus
 ic\, dance and other artistic programmes. A distinctive feature of the cel
 ebration is the ceremonial procession of Ezhuthachan’s iron stylus\, pre
 served at the memorial and carried through Tirur as a tribute to the poet 
 and his contribution to Malayalam literature. The festival also provides a
  forum for discussions on literature\, language…\n\nEvent page: https://
