Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: A) Chirakkal
Chirakkal was a princely state in the Malabar region of Kerala, India. It was founded in the 12th century by the Kolathiri Rajas of Venad. The state was known for its patronage of Kathakali, a classical dance-drama form. The Chirakkal royal family was one of the most important patrons of Kathakali, and many of the great Kathakali artists of the past were associated with the court of Chirakkal.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
- B) Valluvanad was a princely state in the Malabar region of Kerala, India. It was founded in the 12th century by the Valluvanad Rajas. The state was not known for its patronage of Kathakali.

- D) Thekkumkur was a princely state in the Malabar region of Kerala, India. It was founded in the 12th century by the Thekkumkur Rajas. The state was not known for its patronage of Kathakali.
