In a ceremony held at Vayaskara Kovilakam, Kerala Assembly Speaker Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan presented an Uthrada Kizhi to Thampuratti, a member of the historically significant Cochin royal family. The traditional gift, which carried a monetary value of ₹1,001, was part of the ceremonial proceedings.
The Uthrada Kizhi represents a cherished custom in Kerala's cultural tradition, typically given during auspicious occasions and ceremonies. The presentation underscores the state's continued reverence for its royal heritage and cultural practices, even as the erstwhile kingdom has transitioned into modern administrative structures.
Thampuratti's residence at Vayaskara Kovilakam, a historic palace structure, served as the venue for the formal occasion. The Assembly Speaker's participation in the ceremony reflects the institutional recognition extended to members of Kerala's royal families, who continue to hold cultural significance in the region's social fabric.
