Chittur Gurumadam is a memorial to Thunchath Ramanujan Ezhuthachan, who is regarded as the father of Malayalam language. It is situated in Thekkegramam near Arikkode on the banks of the River Sokanasdini. It is here that Ezhuthachan transcribed the two great Sanskrit Epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The exhibits here include a 'srichakra', some idols worshipped by Ezhuthachan, a stylus, wooden slippers and few old manuscripts. Children were brought here on Vijayadasami day, for a ritualistic initiation into learning and to invoke the blessings from the Goddess of learning.
