Mr. Padmanabhan Aachary, a successor of Perunthachan.
Place: Packham village near Periya, Kasargod district, Kerala, India.

Mr. Padmanabhan Aachary is a master carpenter and craftsman; earlier, he used to work on large-scale products. Due to an accident, he had to remain bedridden for two years. He couldn't do any tedious work. Determined, Aachary slowly moved into life and shifted his focus onto burr puzzles traditionally made in wood. Now he engages in building burr puzzles commonly called 'Edakoodam' in Kerala for a living. It is not just for fun, but it gives him new hope in life.

Aachary has crafted more than 50 puzzles till now. His craftsmanship now has a unique collection ranging from 3 blocks to 1500 blocks designs. It takes many days of effort to make a single set of puzzle sets. The new generation is unaware of such creations, which were very common in monarchy times. He is ready to sell the Edakoodam sets if an equal amount according to the hardship is offered.

There are many craft items in Aacharys' collection. Ladder turned chair; table attached seats are few among them. His four sons, Ranjith and Rajeesh, had secured third and fourth prizes in-state school work experience fair for their makes in the material. His family includes his wife Mallika and other sons Abhijith, and Abhijeesh, who extend wholehearted support for his venture.
