Musical Dancing Fountain Manissery
Musical Dancing Fountain Manissery
It all began with an ancient unused pond located close to their ancestral home of the Rarathody’s in Manissery. The pond was once used as a source of water for the local needs and agriculture in the vicinity but lost its utility as farmland was soon used to build residential units. This prompted the Rarathody’s to acquire this pond and surroundings – with the technical expertise they possessed and the willingness to give back to the community that once toiled the farmlands – “PUNCHIRI PAADAM (Musical Dancing Fountain) ” came into existence.
Rarathody family have always been strong advocates for agriculturalist in the area and believed in empowering them economically with a strong developmental initiative mainly promoting existing resources and local traditions.
