Unnayi Variyar
Unnayi Variyar (also Variar/Warrier/Warriar) was a poet, writer, scholar, dramatist who lived in Kerala, India during the later part of the 17th century. He gave immense contributions to the art of Kathakali the classical dance-drama form of Kerala. He is widely renowned for his chef-d'oeuvre ''Nalacharitham'' aattakatha.
==Biography==
There are only sketchy details available regarding Unnayi Variyar's real name, exact date and place of birth, his family background and literary achievements. There is consensus among scholars that his family name was 'Akathoottu Warriam' and that he was a garland maker (traditional vocation of Warriers (Variar)) by profession at Irinjalakkuda Koodalmanikyam Temple. One tangible record available that throws light on his life and times is that his work ''Nalacharitham aattakatha - 2nd day'' was enacted during the festival season of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple at Thiruvananthapuram(Trivandrum) in 1752 AD. This for certain proves that ''Nalacharitham'' was authored by Variyar during the first half of 18th century or earlier. There is speculation that ''Ramapurathu Warrier'' was a disciple of Unnayi Variyar and as noted by Prof. Aimanam Krishna Kaimal in his celebrated work "Attakkatha Sahityam" it is reasonable to assume Unnayi Variyar lived between 1674 and 1754 C.E. Also, Prof. Kaimal infers that Unnayi's real name was 'Raman'. He arrives at this conclusion by presenting evidence that last sloka of another of Unnayi's works - 'Girijakalyanam' aatakatha mentions the author's name to be 'Raman'.
