Vallathol Smarakam

Vallathol Smarakam is associated with the birthplace of Mahakavi Vallathol Narayana Menon at Mangalam in Malappuram district, Keralam. The poet occupies a major place in modern Malayalam literature and is also remembered for his contribution to Keralam’s cultural renaissance. Malappuram District Administration lists Vallathol Smarakam among the district’s cultural attractions and notes that it lies about 15 km from Tirur.

Keralam Revenue Department confirms that Mangalam village is in Tirur taluk, uses PIN 676561 and is the birthplace of Vallathol Narayana Menon. For visitors, the memorial adds a literary dimension to the coastal and river landscapes around Tirur and Mangalam. It is best approached as a heritage site connected with the poet’s life, language and cultural legacy rather than as a large tourist complex.

A visit can be combined with nearby Tirur, Kootayi, the Tirur River region and other literary attractions in southern Malappuram.
