Sharjah: A pavilion at the Sharjah International Book Fair featuring works related to Mappilapat. A section in the pavilion at the fair of Kairali Books has been set aside for Mappilapats. Next year, a special pavilion will be prepared for Mappilapatts and related compositions.
Many books related to Mappilapat including the complete writings of Moinkutty Vaidya are arranged here. Countless works regarding departed Mappilapat talents are also a part of this. MK Muneer MLA said that this initiative will be very beneficial to convince non-residents regarding the history of Mappilapat.

In the next Mela, the expatriate talents who love this genre of music are preparing to start an extensive pavilion with more compositions and historical documents related to Mappilapat. Every night the singers would gather and sing mappilapats. This gives a unique experience to the fair.
