Ruins in Malayalam
Neither entry means ruins. പുനരുദ്ധാരണം (punaruddharanam) is the restoration or rebuilding of something that lies in ruins, a word you meet in temple and heritage reporting. The remains themselves get described rather than named with either of these words.

All Malayalam words for “ruins”
- പുനരുദ്ധാരണം (punaruddharanam) — Revival, reconstruction of sth. in ruins, renovation.
- പൊട്ടക്കുളം (pottakkulam) — A waterless tank, a tank in ruins.
pottakkulam is specifically a dried-up or broken tank, so it names one ruined thing rather than ruins in general.
