Dear Kozhikote family Members,

As you may be aware, our Kozhikkottu Kudumba Bharadevatha Trust is completing 34 years of its formation today, the 15^th day of July 2023. Trust was officially formed on 15^th July 1989 by a deed of trust registered in North Paravoor Registrar office. It was formed out of an intense desire and resolve of the family Members to ensure uninterrupted Monthly Pooja of our Bharadevatha ‘VANADURGA’ on 1^st day of each Malayalam calendar. Till then, monthly Pooja was managed by our most respected Gangadharan maman, often putting the necessary fund from his pocket and also collecting fund from other members of the family. After his demise on 31^st December 1988, there was serious concern among many senior and younger members as to how the Pooja can be done in an organized and systematic way. First informal meeting was held in THARAVADU, in the presence of Unnikrishnan, Balakrishna Menon (Balan chettan) Rajan Menon, and Aravindaksha Menon and evolved a proposal to form a trust. Meanwhile, Mr. Achutha Menon (Achukuttammaman), who was employed in Bombay, returned after retirement for permanent settlement in Chendamangalam. He took unto himself the task of forming a family Trust with the able assistance of Balanchettan, who was a lawyer himself. Achukuttanmaman, contributed Rs.1000 towards the Trust formation and Trust deed was registered as no. 183/89 on 15^th July 1989 in the office of Sub Registrar, N.Parur.

The eight founding trustees of the Kozhikkottu Kudumba Paradevatha Trust were-:

1. Mr. Ravindranatha Menon (Ravi chettan)

2. Mr. Balakrishna Menon (Justice Balan chettan)

3. Mrs. Saraswathy Amma ( Ammini chechi)

4. Mrs. Leela  Amma ( leela chechi, Tharavadu)

5. Mrs. Sarojini Amma (Maveli madom)

6. Mr. Girijan Menon

7. Mr. Shakthidharan Menon.

8. Mr. Rajan Menon (Rajan chettan)

On 15^th July 2014, Trust celebrated its 25^th anniversary in the presence of all family Members. The meeting paid respectful regards and tributes to all who took part in the trust formation and in particular honoured Mr. Achutha Menon (Achukuttammaman), the guiding spirit behind it.  

We respectfully acknowledge the sincerity, efforts and resolve of all the founding trustees and exhort the younger generation of family Members to keep up with the spirit of keeping up our traditions.

MAY GODESS VANADURGA SHOWER HER CHOISEST BLESSINGS ON ALL FAMILY MEMBERS.
