Dear Mr Hari Unnithan, I have a doubt about your article on PGN Unnithan. Since your from Mavelikara i guess you are in some way related to him. Nevertheless, from what i know he belonged to the Edassery Pattathil House of Mavelikara. Illikulam was the name of the family in Cheriyanadu that his sister married into. My family know her daughters Sarvamangala Kunjamma, Malathy Kunjamma etc who stayed in Cheriyanadu.
Kindly verify about the Diwans family. And if you could help me, could you please give me some history of Illikulam House. It so happens they are a branch of the Kaduvinal Unnithans of Cheriyanadu. This house plays an important part in the history of our family, Mulavely. Try finding out some information regarding Illikulam. Thanks - Manu
Hello. Well i know the name of the Unnithan whom the Dewans sister married. Incidentally he was also a PGN Unnithan. Narayanan was the N. No idea about PG. He was the first President of the Ariunnissery Karayogam in Cheriyanadu whereas my great grandfather was the secretary. Perhaps you can ask your aunt Malathi Kunjamma about Mulavelil Panicker Sir, he was a school headmaster there. Infact when they started the Karayogam he and PGN Unnithan (from Illikulam) were the only two people in Cheriyanadu who knew English etc. Anyways we sort of have a relation with Illikulam, a long forgotten one. Ask Ur aunt PLEASE if she has heard any story of the Bhrasthu Unnithan of Kaduvinal.
Actually when they started the Karayogam thing, they wanted to name it Madhava Vilasom, after my great grandad. But he said that he wasnt even from Cheriyanadu (it was his wifes house) and so he suggested Malathi Kunjamma's fathers Star name. Hence the Karayogam building was named Visaka Vilasom..
As for Thottamon Unnithan, i think Illikulathu PGN Unnithan's mom was from there. Actually the story is that PGN Unnithan's uncle (Kaduvinal Unnithan) wanted him to marry his daughter. Instead he married Dewan PGN Unnithans sister. Hence the uncle totaly disowned him or something and gave him no share in the property. Then he himself secured the vast landed areas he had and by the 20th century became the richest guy in Cheriyanadu.Manu
hello. Well Illikulathu is supposed to be a Thavazhi of Kaduvinal. Ya maybe the Kaduvinal Unnithan was the paternal uncle or sumthing. But are the children of two brothers allowed to intermarry? anyways rather confusing id say.
Unnithans being so few in number, it will be easy to find their family names, in a manner of speaking. Yes I have heard about all the Kunjammas from my grandmother, Sarasamma (Saraswathi Amma). Her brother Prof. Raghavan Pillai (now 87 years of age) knew Sarvamangala Kunjamma etc through school or sumthing. He has even stayed at Illikulam once.
Kaduvinal has one more Thavazhi that is non existant now. They were Ariunni Panickers (Unnithans). Cheriyanadu was ruled by a Maran family called Mulavely near the Subramanyam Temple there till 1746. Then a branch of the Kalkulath Kurup House somewhere near Kottayam was sent by Marthanda Varma to rule Cheriyanadu. They were the Kaduvinal Unnithans and they got their deity (Durga,, which became Bhadra. They used to call it Chakulath Amma , though it has nothing to do with the Chakulath Kavu). Similarly, one child of Kaduvinal became brashthu by eating with a Maran from Mulavely House. She was then adopted into Mulavely in Ariunnissery where Ariunni Panicker lived. As her share from Kaduvinal they gave her a temple. Thus the Mulavely Devi is said to be the younger sister of the Kaduvinal Devi. And the Bhrashthu Unnithan lived and the present family is her descendants. In short, Mulavely, to which i belong, is also a family that has descended from a polluted girl of Kaduvinal. That is why both the temples of both families are of same age, same deity, same name. And behind our temple there was a plot that we never used coz it was said that our deity would go to meet her sister at Kaduvinal etc.
Ask Illikulath Kunjammmas if they have heard this tale by any chance. Incase you get anything you can even email me at dark_voldemort2000@yahoo.com Thanks - Manu
