A Living Legacy of Ayurveda, Faith & Family.
For centuries, Chittoor Mana has nurtured a way of life rooted in devotion, knowledge and healing. The values that shaped this ancestral home continue to inspire every healing journey at Niramayam today.
Where wisdom, spirituality and healing have flourished for generations.
A House Built on Tradition

Nestled within Kerala's cultural heartland, Chittoor Mana stood as more than a family home.
It was a living institution where spirituality guided daily life, traditions were preserved with devotion, and knowledge was passed carefully from one generation to the next.
Within these walls, values of compassion, discipline and service shaped the identity of the family and laid the foundation for a legacy that continues through Niramayam today.

The Head of Chittoor Mana
Sri Sankaran Namboothiripad, affectionately remembered as Swamiyar, stood as the head of Chittoor Mana and the guiding force behind its enduring legacy. Guided by wisdom and spiritual purpose, he dedicated his life to safeguarding the prosperity, prestige and dharma of the family for generations to come.
His contributions extended far beyond the Mana itself, including his pivotal role in the development of the renowned Cherpu Bhagavathy Temple and several other sacred institutions associated with the family. Every tradition preserved within these walls today carries the imprint of his devotion.
Of Chittoor Mana
Chittoor Narayanan Namboothiripad, Chittoor Kunhan Namboothiripad and Smt Parvathy Antherjanam — revered figures of Chittoor Mana whose lives embodied the spirit, devotion and healing traditions of this ancient household.
Their presence continues to shape the values of spirituality, service and harmony that inspire Niramayam today.
Where Tradition Becomes Healing
The story of Chittoor Mana is not merely a family history. It is a story of preserving knowledge, nurturing wellbeing and honouring the connection between mind, body and spirit.
The Ayurvedic philosophy practiced at Niramayam finds its roots in these timeless values. Every consultation, therapy, treatment and healing journey reflects generations of wisdom shaped by devotion, discipline and a profound respect for nature.
