Apart from the fact that it is the first systematic attempt as far as Kerala is concerned, its particular value lay in presenting a record of these rapidly vanishing cultural heritage. The Census report on fairs and festivals consists of two publications, Part VII B (i), Fairs and Festivals of Kerala containing the descriptive portion and Part VII B (ii), Fairs and Festivals of Kerala-Statements giving the tables relating to the fairs and festivals. The first part has already been published in 1966. It is the second part that is presented in this book. This publication is entirely a compilation of the statements furnished by various agencies like the Departments of Health Services, Police, Local Bodies, Revenue and the Devaswom Boards of Travancore and Cochin. This is something like a directory of fairs and festivals in the State arranged according to di'>tricts and taluks, which might excite the curiosity of the scholars who are interested in investigating the religiou, centres and festivals.

Deepak Printed at Akshara Printers Vanchiyoor Thiruvananthapuram 2 PALOLI MOHAMED KUTTY Minister Local Self Government Message Several buildings and precincts exist even now as remnants of Kerala’s cultural tradition and architectural excellence. The value of such buildings and precincts are to be bought to the notice of the general public suitably. Lack of efforts in this regard is the major reason for the increasing trend in demolishing such buildings. Once a heritage monument is lost it will be an irreparable loss forever. Spoiling the heritage buildings will amount to a crime committed to the posterity. The Kerala State Town and Country Planning Department has made an attempt to identify the buildings and precincts having heritage value throughout the State as per the advice of the Art and Heritage Commission. The information gathered from the capital district as part of this is now being released as an initial step. It gives pleasure that the book reveals a number of heritage properties around us, which we are ignorant about. Let this book create awareness among the public regarding some of the existing remnants of the historic, cultural and architectural importance of the district.

  • Visualizing Yakshi in the Religious History of Kerala
    Visualizing Yakshi in the Religious History of Kerala Sandhya M. Unnikrishnan1 1. Department of History, NSS College Manjeri, Malappuram, Kerala, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 30 October 2017; Revised: 24 November 2017; Accepted: 18 December 2017 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 5 (2017): 757‐777 Abstract: Yakshi is a female goddess associated with the fertility of earth, love and beauty. She probably originated with the early Dravidians but have subsequently been absorbed in to the imagery of Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. She has been worshipped since pre historic times in Indian. The roles and functions of this deity went through dramatic changes over period of time. The cult is closely associated with the primitive mode of worship even before the development of philosophy and theological doctrines in the Hindu fold. This paper intends to analyse the development of Yakshi cult in Kerala and its prevalence in Kerala society. The cult points of this deity are placed along the land routes of trade leading from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu into Kerala. A detailed survey of the midlands and low lands of Kerala testifies that the cult points were located along the water highways and interior land routes starting from the Western Ghats to Arabian Sea. The cult is closely interlinked with the Gramadevatha concept and with folk deities. Keywords: Yakshi, Fertility, Cult Points, Jainism, Gramadevatha, Folk Deities, Kavu Introduction The word Yaksha, literally means somebody shining, may allude to human beings shining wealth and fame or superhuman beings shining with virtues. Yakshi may be regarded as the embodiment of feminine beauty.
