Shelter in Malayalam
തണല് (thanal) is literally shade, and Malayalam extends it to shelter and protection much as English does with cover. To be under somebody's thanal is to be under their protection.
Most common translation
Shade, (fig.) shelter, support.
മരത്തിന്റെ തണലില് ഞങ്ങള് ഇരുന്നു.
marathinte thanalil njangal irunnu.
We sat in the shade of the tree.
