Charithramurangunna Wayanad was brought out by Kudumbashree Mission
Writer Kalpetta Narayanan has said that Charithramurangunna Wayanad, a two-volume historical reference book on Wayanad, prepared by the Wayanad district Kudumbashree Mission, was the encyclopaedia on the hill district.
Speaking after releasing the book here on Tuesday, Mr. Narayanan said that the book marked the footprints of the cultural heritage of various tribespeople in the district as it was able to explain the minute details of their rituals and ceremonies.
The Kudumbashree movement was the greatest revolution in the history of post-Independent India, Mr. Narayanan said. It made a revolutionary change in the outlook of the rural womenfolk in the country.
