Paschimodayam was the second Malayalam magazine published in Kerala. Its first issue came out in October 1847.[1] The owners of the journal were the Basel Mission Society.[2] The structure of Paschimodayam was similar to Rajyasamacharam, the first Malayalam magazine. But in addition to Christian contents, there were articles published on science, history, astronomy, and geography.[3]
Paschimodayam was an eight-page publication and cost two paisa. The annual subscription cost ₹ 1. It had a better appearance than Rajyasamacharam and was printed on royal octavo garb (234mm x 156mm) size paper. George Frederick Muller served as its editor and the publication is thought to have ceased by 1851.[4]
