Vaṭakke Maṭham Brahmasvam

The collection originally belonged to the Naṭuvil Maṭham (from Malayalam 'Middle Monastery') - another of the four Hindu monasteries located in the city of Thrissur. The collection was donated to Vadakke Madham Brahmaswam by the head of the monastery, Maṟavañcēri Tekkēṭattŭ Nīlakaṇṭhan Bhāratīkaḷ, in 2019. The collection contains, inter alia, the normative texts of this local monastic tradition that traces its origin to circa 12th century.
