Modernisation has greatly changed the tradition and lifestyle of Naduvattom village, where KNC is located. Yet some traditions and values have managed to survive over the years. The paddy fields, sacred groves and temple festivals are still very much a part of people's lives. Situated near the banks of the river Bharathapuzha, the village and its nearby areas are historically significant. The banks of the river were the sites for the Mamankom, a ceremony associated with display and re-assertion of power of the royalty. Though arts and crafts are dying away as a family tradition, a few families of potters, bell metal workers, kalaris, (martial art academies) continue to uphold their tradition even to this day in the village.
