In Malappuram, 'panthu kali' almost exclusively refers to football. The region is famous for its 'Sevens' tournaments. Playing in the rain (Mazha-kali) is a cherished childhood memory for most Malayalis. During Onam, traditional ball games like 'Thallu-panthu' were historically common. Turf grounds have become the new 'maidanams' for 'panthu kali' in cities.
