PONNANI PEPPER PROJECT History Ponnani Is Popularly Known As “The Mecca of Kerala”
PONNANI PEPPER PROJECT HISTORY Ponnani is popularly known as “the Mecca of Kerala”. As an ancient harbour city, it was a major trading hub in the Malabar region, the northernmost end of the state. There are many tales that try to explain how the place got its name. According to one, the prominent Brahmin family of Azhvancherry Thambrakkal once held sway over the land. During their heydays, they offered ponnu aana [elephants made of gold] to the temples, and this gave the land the name “Ponnani”. According to another, due to trade, ponnu [gold] from the Arab lands reached India for the first time at this place, and thus caused it to be named “Ponnani”. It is believed that a place that is referred to as “Tyndis” in the Greek book titled Periplus of the Erythraean Sea is Ponnani. However historians have not been able to establish the exact location of Tyndis beyond doubt. Nor has any archaeological evidence been recovered to confirm this belief. Politically too, Ponnani had great importance in the past. The Zamorins (rulers of Calicut) considered Ponnani as their second headquarters. When Tipu Sultan invaded Kerala in 1766, Ponnani was annexed to the Mysore kingdom. Later when the British colonized the land, Ponnani came under the Bombay Province for a brief interval of time. Still later, it was annexed Malabar and was considered part of the Madras Province for one-and-a-half centuries. Until 1861, Ponnani was the headquarters of Koottanad taluk, and with the formation of the state of Kerala in 1956, it became a taluk in Palakkad district. -
Chapter- Iv Analysis and Interpretation
CHAPTER- IV ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION 1. Foreign Exchange Earnings for the year 2014 is Rupees 6398.93 crores. During 2014, the domestic tourist arrival was 116, 95,411 (an increase of 7.71%) whereas Foreign Tourist Arrival was 9, 23, 366 (an increase of 7.60%) over the previous year’s figure. 2.

Tacholi Othenan, the undisputed exponent and all time great of Kalarippayattu, was born in 1584. After his death at the age of thirty-two, the people of Malabar made a cult hero of him and eventually deified and worshipped him as a demi-god. 3. Irrespective of caste, community, sex, religion and social status, the people of Kerala learnt the art of payattu. 4. Nearly half of foreign tourists visit Kalari for Rejuvenation therapy. 28.57 per cent domestic tourists visit Kalari for Martial Arts and 31.97 per cent for Rejuvenation Therapy. Rejuvenation therapy helps for longevity, memory, intellect, positive health, youth, excellent complexion and strength of sensory organs. Main aim of this therapy is to maintain the youth of the individual along with the maintaining of his long life. It is a costly affair but the enjoyment derived is maximum. It is expected by the Tourism Department that in 2021, 30 Lakhs foreign tourists and 180 Lakhs domestic tourists visit Kerala. According to Kerala Tourism statistics, Foreign tourist arrivals to Kerala in 2014 showed an increase of 7.60% compared to the previous year. -

Multiformity of Syrian Christian Culture in Kerala
Vol. 5 No. 3 January 2018 ISSN: 2321-788X UGC Approval No: 43960 Impact Factor: 2.114 MULTIFORMITY OF SYRIAN CHRISTIAN CULTURE IN KERALA Article Particulars: Received: 11.12.2017 Accepted: 03.01.2018 Published: 20.01.2018 KOSHY MATHAI Assistant Professor, Christian College, Chengannur, Kerala, India Abstract Like all other states in India, religions haveplayed an important role in the Cultural formation of Kerala. It is a land of various religious cultures. It has been showing toleration towards all cultures irrespective of native or foreign and absorbing all these without any discrimination. Consequently these cultures had merged into the existing culture and there was a cultural evolution. The Syrian Christians in Kerala generally believe that they can trace back their origin from the beginning of the religion itself. The Syrian Christians themselves claim that that they are the descendants of native upper castes and trying to imitate their life styles in order to keep their social status in a caste-ridden society like Kerala. Though the Malankara Syrian Christians kept strong relations with different foreign churches they had kept their identity and remained within the fold of the Indian culture. We can see the influence of native culture in almost all their ways of life. Gradually they became the part and parcel of the Kerala Culture. It contains the streams of various cultures and reflects a rich culture of plurality. So this study aims to find out the multiformity of Syrian Christian culture in Kerala. The paper intends to study about salient features of this culture and to trace out how the social settings of Kerala have influenced it. -
