In Kannadi near Palakkad, Thasarak inspired O. V. Vijayan’s seminal novel “Khasakkinte Ithihasam” (1969). The O. V. Vijayan Memorial (opened 2015) recreates the njattupura classroom, exhibits cartoons and manuscripts, and periodically stages cultural events. Literary travellers trace spots like Arabikkulam pond referenced in the novel’s mythic landscape.
