Each theru has its own Ganapathi mandapam and not kshethram. As said people from saliya community wear punul on right shoulder for any pujas during sankramam which starts on 1st of every malayalam month.

There are various conjectures, some suggesting that the cloth cam from Tamil regions (where cotton grew in plenty) and that it was exported from Calicut which was the entrepot of the region. At the same time, there is the theory that Chaliyam Maddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163804773843409980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258499896042719014.post-38781254646140423502010-02-15T16:57:35.615-05:002010-02-15T16:57:35.615-05:00Thanks CHF – this is an interesting discussion.
C...Thanks CHF – this is an interesting discussion.<br /><br />Calico as a word originated as explained previously and is tied to the Portuguese/English presence in Calicut. The etymology of the word reveals a period around the 1530’s, when kalyko (Danish) was first mentioned. Cotton and cotton trade to the Romans, Greeks and Arabs and thence to other European shores goes back to ancient times.

The 11th Century Jain scholar from Gujarat, Hemchandra, has mentioned Calico in his writing. Oxford English Dictionary dates the first use of the word to 1540. So we need to find out Arab , Chinese, Venetian or Genoese references to Calico between the two dates.<br />Chaliyam was no doubt an Calicut Heritage Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760552324718923006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258499896042719014.post-23090418156849600182010-02-07T08:26:53.845-05:002010-02-07T08:26:53.845-05:00Yes, Vinu - It appears so - Thurston also confirms...Yes, Vinu - It appears so - Thurston also confirms it as in the passga equoted. Ganapati temples have been associated elsewhere with Vaniya communities. You must note here that we are talking about specific Ganapati temples, not Ganapathi worship as seen in a larger temple.Maddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163804773843409980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258499896042719014.post-83684712330796891822010-02-06T19:52:59.315-05:002010-02-06T19:52:59.315-05:00Thanks for the article, Maddy.
