Mallapuram
Travel Guide
Malappuram (literally, a land atop hills) is situated
50 km southeast of Kozhikode. Bounded by the Nilgiri hills on the east, the Arabian
sea on the west and Thrissur and Palakkad districts on the south, Malappuram is
enriched by three great rivers flowing through it - the Chaliyar, the Kadalundi
and the Bharathapuzha.
ences are seen in the many
examples of Indo European architecture that still exist here.
Malappuram has a rich and eventful history. It was the military headquarters
of the Zamorins of Kozhikode since ancient times. This district was the venue
for many of the Mappila revolts (uprisings against the British East India Company
in Kerala) between 1792 and 1921. The hill country has also contributed much to
the cultural heritage of Kerala. It was a famous centre for Hindu-Vedic learning
and Islamic philosophy.
