The India Utsav festival was inaugurated last week by the Ambassador of India to Qatar HE Dr. Deepak Mittal, at Lulu Hypermarket, Barwa Family Housing, Madinatna on the sidelines of the Republic Day of India celebrations held in the region and worldwide, and the festival will run until February 5, 2023.
Mohanan Namboothiri is hailing from the Kottayam district of Kerala and is academically qualified with a master’s degree in physics. Despite his high credentials, during the crossroads of life, he opted to become a fervent follower of the great Malamel Neelakandan Namboothiri who used to cook at youth festivals in Kerala.
After the turn of Neelakandan Namboothiri, Pazhayidom was entrusted to continue with his mission, and since then he has been managing the massive kitchen in all major events happening in Kerala and abroad namely school kalolsavam, arts festivals, sports meets, and science fairs, temple festivals and Malayalidiaspora, etc.
