CHOTTANIKARA

Once, one Guptan Nambudiri of Kandarappalli illam Chottanikara set out for Tripunithura, nearly 9 km away, to witness ar Kathakali performance. In those days there were neither pucca roads nor any vehicles. It was a pleasant moonlit night. The Nambudiri therefore had to trek all the way alone through rugged path. He hummed to himself merrily some Kathakali tunes to relieve the solitude.

On the way he had a pleasant and sweet surprise. He saw a bewitching beauty standing before him and smiling to him coquettishly. The small of jasmine wafted through the night air. The Nambudiri was tickled at being alone with such a damsel who dazzled him out of his wits.
