Legends That Echo is a storytelling series within Echoes of Kerala that brings to life the timeless tales of Aithihyamaala, Kerala’s legendary treasury of myths, miracles, and memories.

Rooted in oral traditions and local lore, this series narrates stories that once travelled by word of mouth, from temple courtyards and village firesides to palm‑leaf manuscripts. These are tales of kings and chieftains, scholars and saints, deities and mortals, sacred groves and royal courts, stories where history, belief, and imagination merge seamlessly.

The Aithihyamaala stories in Legends That Echo are organised into three distinct sub‑series, reflecting the historical regions where these legends unfolded:

• Travancore Series – Stories emerging from the southern kingdom of Travancore, capturing its rulers, temples, scholars, rituals, and deeply rooted spiritual traditions.
• Cochin Series – Legends from the Cochin kingdom, revealing tales of diplomacy, divinity, cultural exchanges, and courtly life shaped by land and sea.
• Malabar Series – Narratives from the Malabar region, rich with warrior legends, mysticism, folklore, and the vibrant intersections of trade, faith, and power.

Each episode carefully retells these legends in a narrative style that honours the original spirit ofAithihyamaala, while making them accessible and immersive for modern listeners. Whether known or nearly forgotten, these stories echo the cultural memory of Kerala, preserving voices from the past and allowing them to be heard once more.

Legends That Echo invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and step into a Kerala where every place has a story, every name has a legend, and every legend continues to echo across time.

Legends that Echo is a storytelling podcast that journeys through the rich history, folklore, and cultural soul of Kerala, India’s lush southern coast where memory, myth, and history intertwine.

Through oral traditions, ancient legends, and time‑honoured narratives, this podcast explores stories of legendary kings and forgotten kingdoms, sacred spaces and powerful deities, local myths passed down through generations, and the people who shaped Kerala’s identity.

Between the Ghats and the sea lies a narrow strip of land, green, rainwashed, and restless. This is Kerala.

To the east rise the Western Ghats, ancient and watchful, guarding forests, rivers, and monsoon clouds.

To the west stretches the Arabian Sea, open and inviting, carrying traders, travellers, ideas, and faiths across centuries.

Everything about Kerala, its history, its culture, its stories begins here, shaped by this geography.

In this episode of Echoes of Kerala, we step back from kings and legends, from temples and tales, to understand the land itself.

Between the Ghats and the Sea is not just about maps and landscapes: it’s about understanding how nature quietly authored Kerala’s destiny.

So slow down.

Follow the rivers.

And walk this land where history was written—between the mountains and the sea.
