Chavara at the crossroads of sea and spirit: Cultural significance of a coastal village in Kerala
Authors
Dr. Niju P
Abstract
The geographical makeup of Chavara, which is a
coastal village in Kollam district of Kerala, has created a unique cultural and
spiritual heritage influenced by its economic livelihood and religious
institutions. Chavara's cultural expressions are examined in this article,
which includes temples, mosques, churches, folk art traditions, and reformist
movements. The study utilizes historical and interview techniques to
demonstrate how rituals like Chamayavilakku and Karadikali, as well as the
reformist Panmana Ashram, keep cultural memory and identity alive in modern
times.
