Kathakali Asan T.K.Chandu Panikkar Saamskarika Saahiti, Trikkaripur, where Dhananjayan had spent his early days, celebrated the event with great pomp and show. The whole village gathered there to give a rousing welcome to their celebrity Padma Bhushan Dhananjayans and of course the main attraction was their favourite Lakshmi Gopalaswamy - Malayalam Film Actress and Bharatanaatyam dancer. Mr. Kunjanbu (Congress leader) presided and gave away the momentos to the Dhananjayans. It was indeed a big celebration for the village.
