Perumkulam flaunts its agrarian heritage

Sora Varambu, a cultural space set amidst paddy crops, has been drawing crowds

Perumkulam, the State’s first Pusthaka Gramam (village of books), is also a land of idyllic paddy fields and rural orchards. And today, the village in Kottarakara flaunts one more unique feature, a public open space that celebrates its agrarian heritage. Sora Varambu, a miniature park established by the Kairali Kalasamskarika Samiti by the roadside, has been drawing a steady crowd of late. Though the space was opened in early 2020, a couple of months back the samiti started cultivating paddy on one side to convert it into a real ‘varambu'.
