Sethu had just grunted. But now, alone in the projection booth as the first light flickered onto the screen, he understood. Achu had grown up in a tharavad —the ancestral Nair manor with a central courtyard, a palliyodam (snake boat) hanging in the outhouse, and a kavu (sacred grove) where the family serpent god lived.
