Detailed Description

The search for the perfect story for this project draws inspiration from Aithihyamala, a remarkable compilation of Kerala’s timeless folklore by Kottarathil Sankunny. This collection brings together captivating tales and legends that reflect the rich cultural heritage and storytelling traditions of Kerala. Alongside literary exploration, oral accounts and local legends shared by elders and community members provided helpful information regarding the region’s diverse folklore. Among these, the story of Poothapattu emerged as a particularly compelling narrative. Blending elements of love, adventure, and the supernatural, Poothapattu stands as a significant piece of Kerala’s cultural legacy. Its depth and emotional resonance make it an ideal choice for reinterpretation through the parallax scrolling comic format, celebrating both tradition and creativity.
