A Fusion of Traditional Kerala and Colonial Architecture

Nestled in Periyapuram, Piravom-Onakur, lies the Tharavad, an exquisite blend of colonial and traditional Kerala architecture, boasting a history that spans over 150 years. Under the ownership of AR.KV John from Koomullil, this architectural gem stands as a testament to the bygone era. Its quaint front verandah adorned with arches, and the intricate network of doors within, reflect the colonial architectural ethos. Similar marvels grace the homes of the Tarakans in Ezhupunna and the CMS College in Kottayam.Witnessing the masterful carpentry, a solution born of necessity in the absence of modern machinery, is an experience to behold. Arched doorways, sturdy pillars (ara), and the traditional features like the chamber (nira), cellar (nilavara), and cow shed (Eruthil) offer a glimpse into a bygone way of life. The surrounding landscape, encompassing a pond ensconced in red stone across 8 acres and a verdant grove, harks back to the agrarian roots of tradition.
