Kerala will pay tributes to Chinnathambi Annavi, the 16th century founder of Central Kerala’s dance form ‘chavittu nadakam,’ when his first-ever statue initiated as part of the maiden Kochi-Muziris biennale will be unveiled at Gothuruthu Island near Paravur here on December 30. Union Minister of State for Food and Consumer Affairs K.V.Thomas will unveil the statue at a function.
The project was launched as part of the first biennale’s public statue mission. The cement statue with a height of 11 metres will be dedicated to ‘chavittu nadakam’ enthusiasts on December 30, when the current edition of the annual chavittu nadakam festival ‘Chuvadi’ organised by the island’s Sports and Arts Club concludes.
