Born and brought up in a small village named ‘Maruthorvattam’ in Kerala, I have started learning Ottan thullal in 1984 and I was a 4Yrs old boy on that days. The very next year I have made my debut performance at Purandareswara Temple. I do remember my master Sri.Vayalar Krishnan Kutty with great gratitude in this moment who instructed me the basics of Thullal in such a graceful way
