Revathi Pattathanam

Revathi Pattathanam

Revathi Pattathanam is an annual assembly of scholars held since ancient times at Kozhikode in Kerala, India. Traditionally a seven day event, the festival used to be held under the patronage of the Zamorin of Kozhikode. The prime event of the assembly, is the conferring of the title "Bhatta" along with a "panakizhi" (purse of money) to selected scholars. The word "Pattadhanam" is derived from "Bhattadanam", which in Malayalam means "awarding of the Bhatta". The assembly used to begin on the day of the Revathi asterism, and hence the title "Revathi Pattathanam".
