Birth place of Adi sankaracharya ..








After praying in Thirubali Mahadeva shetram near Piravom my auto man Prasanth took me to Melpazhur Mana the ancestral home of Aryambha mother of Sri Adi Sankaracharya himself .
This was in Veliyanad very close to Piravom .

This was a huge sprawling Namboothiri mana as those days they were rich land owners .
Swami Chinmayananda bought the slowly decating mana and refurbished the house and temples inside the complex also added some buildings .
Its very well kept and orderly .
On entering security asks us to download a QR code and fill our details to submit online .
The Complex has the main mana or house tradisional kerala architecture looks like a naalukettu as there was one nadumittam though several rooms .
Photography is prohibited inside the house .
Rooms are quite spacious with mural paintings on wall and four poster beds and furniture .
long corridor or Edanaazhis led to the rooms .
In front was a big room with a pedestal or stage where namboothiri guests used to sit and play with slogams .
The room where Adi Sankaracharya was born is a meditation room today .
Visitors can sit and introspect for some time .
I was alone today visiting house so I could be in room for some time .
zi could feel the positive energy reverberating in the room ,it was a very pleasant experience .
I moved out of house and walked around reaching Ayappa temple a swayambhu one where idol was found during reconstruction .
Sri Durga temple 
Krishna temple 
Ganapathy 
and Vettekkuorumagan the family deity .
Vettekuorumagan was said to be born out of Siva in kiratha form  and parvathi 
Adi sankaracharya temple and Swami Chinmayanandha temple .
A blue temple pond and a huge well was there .
A very qauint book stall was there and  I bought two books too .
The complex is well maintained with neat lawns etc .
