Nature's Gift to KOKO: A Harmony of Life and Land in Perumkulam

In the verdant heart of Kerala's first book village, Pusthakagramam, lies the village tourism project KOKO, a place where the whispers of nature and the wisdom of books converge. The recent discovery of two animals, a tortoise and a rabbit, naturally sculpted by the landscape itself, is a testament to the beauty and wonder that the natural world holds.

The tortoise, with its solid shell and deliberate pace, symbolizes the enduring spirit of KOKO. It reflects the project's commitment to sustainability and the protection of nature. This creature, shaped by the very rocks of KOKO, serves as a guardian of the land, reminding us of the importance of a slow and steady approach to conservation.

The rabbit, agile and alert, represents the dynamic energy of life that pulses through KOKO. Its presence on the right-hand rock is a playful nod from nature, an embodiment of the joy and vitality that visitors can experience within this village. The rabbit's ability to blend into the surroundings speaks to the project's harmonious integration with the environment, ensuring that the footprint on nature is as gentle as the rabbit's own.

Together, these two animals are nature's gift to KOKO, a symbol of balance and coexistence. They are a visual promise that KOKO is not just a place to visit, but a sanctuary where life thrives and the land speaks. They invite travelers to pause, reflect, and appreciate the intricate designs of nature that often go unnoticed.

As KOKO unfolds its leaves to the world, it does so with the blessings of the earth's artistry. The tortoise and the rabbit are not mere inhabitants of this land; they are the soul of KOKO, carved by time and the elements, offering a silent yet profound welcome to all who seek the embrace of nature.

This is the essence of KOKO – a village where the whispers of the earth are heard, where each stone tells a story, and where every visitor leaves with a deeper connection to the world around them. It is here, in the dance of the tortoise and the rabbit, that we find the true spirit of village tourism, one that celebrates and preserves the gifts of nature for generations to come.

Nestled in Perumkulam's Pusthakagramam, KOKO stands as a beacon of cultural and ecological harmony. It is a place where the legacy of literature and the legacy of the land are interwoven, creating a unique tapestry that enriches the soul and ignites the imagination. As the project name's abbreviation is set to be released soon, the anticipation builds for the unveiling of a name that encapsulates the essence of this enchanting retreat.

The Kuravar artists were under the patronage and guidance of the tutelage of the Kuravarkulam Urali, who belonged to a dravidian tribe. They saw the universe as the all  eternal and ultimate truth. They worshipped and revered natural elements such as  sun, moon, water, air, and trees. They gave wild food as offerings to the Gods who protected them in their times of  happiness and sadness. They pleased the gods through their dancing and singing in circular movements. Their belief is that the deities who are pleased with this will bestow them with their blessings for the prosperity of  their tribe and their lands. As a clan ritual art of Kurams, Kuram games are still being performed in Kavus and temples. The places where such games are played are called kalari or kalams. The instruments required for these are Maddalam, Kutty, Kuzhal (bamboo), and Kaimani. All these three beats, in rhythm, wake up the mountain gods and  the kalam. Urali prostrates and prays for the prosperity, unity, and

The butterfly isn't just a fleeting visitor; it's a key player in the KOKO story. It
