Postcards From Nowhere with Utsav Mamoria
Society & Culture:Places & Travel
"Banasura Hill in Wayanad is one of the tallest mountains and is named after Banasura, son of the great demon king Mahabali and himself a legendary king with a thousand arms. But what could he have to do with the fact that Malaria is endemic in Wayanad? Meanwhile, the entire district is known to have leeches, with the exception of the town of Pulpally, which is Leech free? And what could it have to do with the famed Hindu epic Ramayan? This week, we travel to Wayanad in Kerala and discover the connections between Malaria, blood-sucking leeches and the lessons for us in the Wayanad Ramayanas."
