 A memorial for the great poet has been built at Thunchan Parambu, where a week-long literary mela is organised in the last week of December.This place is sacred for all who speak Malayalam.Thunchan Paramba is a hallowed ground where hundreds of children are introduced into the world of writing, soon after infancy, when they first trace the letters of the Malayalam alphabets in sand taken from that revered spot which was Ezhuthachan's home.
