Thiruvathira Engineering Works

Thiruvathira Engineering Works is out in Puthur, specifically the Kuttanellur area. It’s a bit away from the main city buzz of Thrissur, which is nice. We have a fairly simple setup here. It’s a big open shed where we do all our metalwork and engineering tasks. We started this place because we wanted to work for ourselves and use the skills we picked up in bigger shops. A lot of our customers are locals who have known us for years. They bring in their tools, tractor parts, or even just house stuff that needs fixing. We don't have a website or anything like that. If you need us, you just come down to the shop in Puthur. The smell of burning metal and the sound of the hammer are pretty constant from morning till evening. We have a couple of younger guys learning the trade now, which is good to see. It keeps the place lively. We aren't doing anything revolutionary here; we’re just providing a service that people in the village need. Sometimes we have to wait a few days for materials to arrive from the city, but we manage. It’s a steady life and we wouldn't have it any other way. We focus on the work, keep our tools sharp, and make sure we do right by our neighbors. That’s what matters to us at the end of the day in Kuttanellur.
