Historical references
Keshavan was a title given to Lord Vishnu, particularly in the context of the Bhagavata Purana. This Purana is a major Sanskrit religious text, believed to have been composed between the 6th and 12th centuries CE. In this text, Keshavan represents one of the many forms of Vishnu, and is often depicted as having long, flowing hair (kesha).
6th - 12th centuries CE
Keshavan was also the name of a prominent 13th-century Malabar king, who ruled over regions in what is now Kerala, India. He is known for his contributions to temple architecture and the establishment of the Thirunavaya Temple, which is a significant Hindu pilgrimage site. Despite his Hindu rule, Keshavan is also noted for his patronage of Christian missionaries in the region, which is an example of religious syncretism in medieval India.
