Introduction: The Birth of God’s Own Country
Kerala Piravi, meaning “Birth of Kerala”, is celebrated every year on November 1 to mark the formation of the state of Kerala in 1956. The day signifies the unity of Malayalam-speaking regions and the rich cultural heritage of this southern state.
Kerala Piravi is not just a day of remembrance but a celebration of identity, language, and progress — a day when every Malayali proudly says, “Ente Keralam, Ethra Sundaram!” (My Kerala, how beautiful you are!).

History of Kerala Piravi: How Kerala Was Formed
Before 1956, the Malayalam-speaking regions of South India were divided into three parts —
- Travancore (a princely state)
- Cochin (another princely state)
- Malabar District (part of the Madras Presidency under British rule)
After India’s independence, the demand for a state based on linguistic identity gained momentum. Following the States Reorganisation Act of 1956, these regions were merged on 1 November 1956, forming the state of Kerala.
The term “Kerala Piravi” literally translates to “Birth of Kerala”, and since then, November 1 is celebrated as Kerala Piravi Dinam every year with pride and cultural enthusiasm.
