Abstract
This article presents a catalogue of some newly discovered palm leaf manuscripts from the esteemed Tharananellur Mana in Kerala, offering a profound insight into the diverse spiritual and cultural heritage of the region. The manuscripts encompass a wide spectrum of texts, including excerpts from revered Vedic scriptures, Tantric rituals and iconic hymns like Lalita Sahasranama and Srimad Bhagavad Gita. This collection showcases the coexistence of both Vedic and Tantric traditions within the Mana, highlighting the richness and syncretism of Keralas spiritual landscape. Noteworthy are the regional variations found in the tantric rituals and textual differences observed in the Lalita Sahasranama, promising intriguing avenues for scholarly exploration. Although the manuscripts precise dates remain undetermined, inviting further study and deeper interpretation. This catalogue serves as a gateway for future research, aiming to unravel the intricacies of Keralas spiritual tapestry embedded within the manuscripts housed in this venerable repository.
