THE KOZHIKODE TALI - THE SEAT OF PATTANAM

The ceremony was taking place in the spacious agrasala - dining hall. The members who were enrolled previously used to sit in the pazhya Sabha and the successful aspirants in the pudhia sabha. The President of the assembly used to conduct those deemed fit for the honours to the presence of Zamorin sitting in the agrasala to giving awards. After honouring them the Zamorin and his family members circumbulate the Vidwatsabha and receive blessings from the members individually by placing hands on the head of Zamorins. 

It was an exhilarating experience to the learned and memorable thrill for the Zamorins. The Zamorins were personally supervising every aspect of Puttattanam. It honoured several hundreds and produced hundreds of best tretises which the 'future will not willingly let them die’. It was indeed a dazzling diamond in the crown of Zamorins for, it had many other features that set it apart from the counterparts exited then. It was the first of its kind and shone like the polestar. For four centuries it flourished and spread its fragrance throughout the world.
