About Edassery Square
Edassery Square is a literary memorial located within Nilayoram Park at Kuttippuram in Malappuram district, Keralam. Malappuram District Administration states that the square was built in memory of Malayalam poet Edassery Govindan Nair, author of the celebrated Poothappattu, and places it on the bank of the Bharathapuzha. Keralam Revenue Department confirms that Kuttippuram is in Tirur taluk, uses PIN 679571 and identifies Nilayoram Park and the Bharathapuzha surroundings as important local tourism attractions.
The setting makes Edassery Square different from a closed museum: visitors can connect literary memory with the open river landscape of the Nila, a river deeply associated with Keralam’s cultural imagination. It works well as a short stop during an evening visit to Nilayoram Park and is particularly meaningful for readers of Malayalam poetry. Kuttippuram railway station and road connections also make the site convenient to combine with Thirunavaya and nearby cultural destinations.
