O. V. Vijayan Memorial, set up in memory of the noted Malayalam writer, O. V. Vijayan, is a cultural centre located at Thasrak, a village in Kannadi, in Palakkad district, of the south Indian state of Kerala. It is the setting of O. V. Viajayan’s novel, Khasakkinte Itihasam. The centre is a reconstruction of a number of images from the novel and was established in 2015, by the Government of Kerala.
The centre comprises a small house, supposedly the ‘njattupura’ (barn house) where Ravi, the protagonist of Khasakkinte Ithishasam temporarily resided, a conference hall, a museum and a live theatre. The museum houses many cartoons and paintings by O. V. Vijayan. In 2024, the centre recreated in its compound, Arabikkulam (pond of the Arabs), a place mentioned multiple times in the novel. It is a favorite spot for travelers with literary aptitude and several statues of Vijayan and his characters are displayed in the compound.
The centre was renovated and opened to public on March 29, 2015 by K. C. Joseph, the then Minister of Culture of the Government of Kerala. The installation of the writer’s statue was unveiled in 2017 by A. K. Balan. The centre is managed by O. V. Vijayan Smaraka Samiti, a committee appointed by the Government of Kerala. It has hosted a number of literary and cultural events. The annua distribution of O. V. Vijayan Memorial Literary Awards, a literary award instituted by the Samiti is done at the centre.
