An installation of drawings by students has been set up at Sreekrishnapuram HSS, Palakkad

- SHYAM P V @Palakkad

In the open courtyard of Sreekrishnapuram Higher Secondary School, a remarkable wall has come to life. Not with bricks or cement, but with imagination, stories, and ink.

Stretching 24 feet wide and soaring 15 feet high, a wall stitched from cloth and soaked in black acrylic sketches has become a living tribute to one of Kerala's greatest literary voices—Vaikom Muhammad Basheer.

Titled 'Varakondoru Kottamathil' (A Castle Wall of Drawings), this installation is a collective meditation on Basheer's world, brought alive by the hands of 75 student-artists, all armed with brushes, black paint, and a deep reverence for the 'Beypore Sultan'.
