Most of the books are written in Arabi-Malayalam which is a version of the Malayalam language written in Arabic script. People gather in mosques for the evening prayer and continue to sit there after the prayers discussing social and cultural issues.

Hindu rituals are done here with a regular devotion like other parts of Kerala.[1]
