About Kerala Folklores
Kerala Folklores is a digital archive dedicated to preserving and retelling the ancient legends and folk tales of Kerala — stories from Aithihyamala, the legendary collection compiled by Kottarathil Sankunni in the early 20th century.
These are tales of sorcerers and yakshis, warriors and madmen, thieves with hearts of gold and priests who walked between worlds. Stories that have been whispered from grandmother to grandchild across a thousand years of monsoons.
Our mission is simple — to bring these timeless tales to a global audience, in the English language, for the Kerala diaspora and for anyone who loves ancient folklore.
