Punnorkottu Mana (Malayalam: പുന്നോർക്കോട്ട് മന), alternatively known as Swarnathu Mana (Malayalam: സ്വർണ്ണത്ത് മന), is one of the many traditional aristocratic Namboothiri family houses (illam) in Kerala located in Pazhamthottam village in Ernakulam district, 30 km south-west of Kochi.[1][2][3][4] The mana is over two-centuries-old. [2] It is the ancestral home of the Punnorkkottu family, who migrated from Northern and Central parts of Kerala almost 1,000 years back. Punnorkkottu belongs to Pazhoor Griham of Ashtagrihathil Aadhyans.[1] The mana is associated with the legend of Adi Shankara.[5]
The mana is a rare Panthrandukettu (12-halled with 4 courtyards). Within the mana there are designated areas for holding performances, storing food, for Shradham and Upanayanam ceremonies as well as storerooms for grains and sleeping quarters. The mana showcases eye-catching woodwork with intricate etchings. There are three large ponds and a temple dedicated to goddess Bhuvaneshwari in the Mana.[3] In olden days, pooram used to be held in the temple.[4] Near to the main house there is also a Pathaayappura (granary) and Maalikas to accommodate guests.[3] The mana used to house 40 inmates and 16 servants.[2]
