Yakshi Statue, Malampuzha - History details

Kanayi Kunhiraman’s iconic 30‑ft Yakshi (1969) anchors Malampuzha Gardens near the dam—an audacious single‑piece sculpture of a nude female spirit that sparked debate yet became a Palakkad symbol. In 2019, the sculptor returned to restore the work during its 50th year. The garden setting frames the Western Ghats as a dramatic backdrop.
