IN HARMONY WITH NATURE: The Sarpakavu (Serpent Grove) which is a prominent feature of almost all the Hindu houses in Kerala is still intact at Kaladiparambil. A shady nook of the compound is dedicated for the worship of serpents where a light is placed at the entrance every evening and a 'puja' performed at least once a year. The serpent grove is a mini dense forest of plants and trees of all kinds with a mix of various species of animals and birds. A serpent grove is a testament to the concern our forefathers had in nurturing and protecting the environment and giving it a special place in ones own habitat, the Judge believes.
