This is Madapad

It is my ancestral home. It was built in 1905, by my patrilineal great great grand father. So, it has been home to 5 generations. In Malayalam, it is called a Mallika Veedu, which refers to a house of at least 2 floors.  It is also a moonu kettu_Semi rectangular.  The main building has 2 floors and a thattum puram which means attic in Malayalam. The super structure is built on an elevated rectangular plot bounded by granite stones.  Behind the main buildings and between the two parallel buildings is the nadu mittam (Central courtyard). In front is the mittam or courtyard.  We also have a step bridge built by my great grand father in 1910 with the permission of the Kochi Diwan.  In the olden days people used to climb those steps and visit our home.
