Synopsis : Kuriyedathu Savitri aka Thatri, a young Namboodiri woman who lived in the early part of the 20th century, is a name that resonates with modern Kerala. The life of Thatri, wife of the elderly Raman Namboodiri of Kuriyedath Mana in Thrissur, who questioned the judiciary and patriarchy pf her time, had far-reaching consequences that are relevant even today. “Taya” focusses on the Smarthavicharam, a kind of inquisition that examined the moral conduct of women from the Namboodiri community. The last trial of its kind ordered by the king of erstwhile Kochi, Smarthavicharam of Thatri in 1905 looked into allegations of adultery against her.
