The Katthi Text
Yes the text is in Malayalam, the language spoken in Kerala.
It reads: 'Kumbalakaran ayyappan
maryamba ambalathil koduthaddu
1888 Janavari'
Which translates as:
'Given by Ayyappan of Kumbalam to the Maryamba Temple 1888 January'
Ayyappan - Name of the Donor
Kumbalam - Name of the town he hails from
Maryamba - Name of the presiding deity in the temple, probably the Goddess Mariamman.
1888 Janavari - 1888 January.
Hope this helped.
