They contain valuable historical, religious, and literary information related to early Indian culture, particularly the Christian community in Kerala. These manuscripts are written on materials like palm leaves and include scriptures, theological writings, and historical records. Their significance lies in providing insights into local traditions, religious practices, and the region’s history, helping scholars understand Kerala’s rich cultural heritage and the development of Christianity in South India.
