The history of the Parayil Tharakans has been traced back to almost 250 years with many of our illustrious forefathers playing important roles in the socio-economic development of this lovely State of Kerala.
Amongst these were one Marquis four grand Chevaliers, members of the Kerala Legislatative Assembly and various senior government officials and social leaders. Chevalier Parayil Kujuavira Tharkan, my late grand father, was one among the four Parayees to be decorated by Pope Pius XII for his contributions and services to the church.
Ayanat House is the Home of Parayil Tharakans, one of the oldest Syrian Christian families in Kerala. Built in the early part of the last century, the house played host to a large family of 14 children, 35 grand children and 37 great grand children. Ayanat House is witness to numerous occasions - joyful or otherwise where the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have gathered to celebrate and enjoy the luxury of this six-bedroom home.
With time this huge clan has moved out into the different corners of the world and eventually the responsibility of preserving the culture and traditions of this ancient family home is on the young shoulders of Johnny and Rani, the current links of this huge chain.
Rani, Shreya, Sneha and Johnny (the Tharakan family) invite you to Ayanat House to experience and share the culture, warmth, and hospitality of this ancient family.
