Malayalam Kuthu Kathakal Verified Info
There's a popular folk tale about Ouseppachan, a kind-hearted farmer who lived in a small village. One day, while working in his field, he encountered a Yaksha (a supernatural being) who was trapped in a tree. Ouseppachan freed the Yaksha, who then granted him a single wish as a token of gratitude. Ouseppachan wished for a never-ending supply of rice, which the Yaksha granted, but with a twist: every time Ouseppachan's daughter got married, a heap of rice would turn into a heap of ashes.
