What Is Malayala Manorama?
Malayala Manorama is a Malayalam-language daily newspaper founded in 1888 in Kottayam by Kandathil Varghese Mappillai. As the most widely read newspaper in Kerala and the second most widely read in India, it is a powerhouse of journalism with a deeply loyal readership across the entire state.
The paper has since grown into one of Kerala's two largest dailies, with daily circulation surpassing 1.5 million copies across 16 editions — 10 within Kerala plus Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai, and international editions in Dubai and Doha for the Malayali diaspora.
For advertisers, Malayala Manorama delivers especially strong reach in North Kerala's Malabar region — its founding heartland — making it a sharp-targeted choice for matrimonial, property, and recruitment campaigns aimed at Kottayam, Kochi, and Thiruvananthapuram readers, alongside solid statewide and Gulf-diaspora coverage.
💡 Key Fact: Malayala Manorama's historical strength in North Kerala (Malabar) complements Malayala Manorama's broader statewide lead — many advertisers book both to cover Kerala comprehensively.
