Dedicated to
the memories of Philip (Kunju Sir) and Mariamma (Kochu Maria) who lived in
the Kunnapuzha family residence (Tharavadu) at
Pullad, this site is
about their children and grandchildren. Located by the
side of
Thiruvalla Kozhencheri road in Central Travancore, this Tharavadu was home for his
father Philipose, a great grandson of Kurian Pillai who moved from his
ancestral home at Palakunnathu Madam and lived at Maramon Themoottil house.
Visit Palakunnathu web site or
refer to 'History of Palakunnathu Family' for full details.
TRUSTED IN GOD TO RAISE THE ELEVEN
In
this small Tharavadu house, they managed to raise their eleven children with
a meager income of a school teacher. After the untimely demise of the
father, the mother struggled hard to pull on. She trusted fully in God and incessantly prayed for a better future. Her
children set an example of true family relationship, love and care for one
another. Undoubtedly, her prayers were answered.
Now,
their forty grandchildren (Photo 1975) try to maintain the strong
traditional bonding. This site should help them and all their well wishers to meet, communicate and
further strengthen their relationships.
