It is believed that Cheraman Perumal and his minister and friend Sundaramoorthy Nayanar left their life in the temple. This temple had undergone several invasions in the flow of time. The Dutch and The Tipu Sulthan of Mysore are the prominent ones, who demolished this temple during their invasions. The temple was renovated in 1801 AD. It is believed that the main idol of worship, Siva linga is brought from Chidambaram Rameshwara temple. It was one of the most popular Siva temples in South India. Thiruvanchikulam Shiva Temple suffered war damages in 1670 and in late 18th century. In the late mediaeval Thiruvanchikulam was under the ruler of Cochin but occasionally, the Zamorin of Calicut had usurped the control. The saint Sundarmoorthy Nayanar and Cheraman Perumal (both were close- friends) worshipped Lord Shiva leading to eternal bliss. They reached Kailas by riding on a 1000- tusked white elephant by Nayanar and on a blue horse by Perumal.

  • Living to Tell the Tale-The Knanaya Christians of Kerala
    Living to Tell The Tale-The Knanaya Christians of Kerala Maria Ann Mathew , Department of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics. LIVING TO TELL THE TALE- THE KNANAYA CHRISTIANS OF KERALA In the first week of August, Kottayam town witnessed a protest rally by approximately 600 former members of the Knanaya Christians. The rally vouched for the restoration of the erstwhile Knanaya identity of the participants, who by way of marrying outside the Knanaya circle, got ex- communicated from the community. What is it about the Knanaya Community that people who have been ousted from it, refuse to part with their Knanaya identity? Who can give them their Knanaya Identity back? What is the nature of this identity? Belonging to a Jewish-Christian Ancestry, the Knanaya Christians of Kerala are believed to have reached the port of Kodungaloor (Kerala), in 345 CE, under the leadership of Thomas of Cana. This group, also known as ‘Thekkumbaggar’ (Southists) claims to have been practising strict endogamy since the time of their arrival. ‘Thekkumbaggar’ has been opposed to the ‘Vadakkumbaggar’ (Northists) who were the native Christians of that time, for whose ecclestiacal and spiritual uplift, it is believed that the Knanayas migrated from South Mesopotamia. However, the Southists did not involve in marriage relations with the Northists. The Knanaya Christians today, number up to around 2,50,000 people. Within the Knanaya Christians, there are two groups that follow different churches-one follows the Catholic rite and the other , the Jacobite rite. This division dates back to the Coonen Kurush Satyam of 1653, when the Syrian Christians of Kerala, revolted against the Portuguese efforts to bring the Syrian Christians under the Catholic rite.

  • VP Thuruth Through ‘Mazhapolima’ Improves Water Quality
    MAZHAPOLIMA Recharging Open Wells in the Coastal Riverine Island of VP Thuruth through ‘Mazhapolima’ improves water quality Implementing Partners Department of Revenue, GoK. Thrissur District Administration Methala, Eriyad & Edavilangu GPs KIDS- Kottappuram Mazhapolima Monitoring & Coordination Unit - Thrissur 1 Recharging Open Wells in the Coastal Riverine Island of (VP)Thuruth through ‘Mazhapolima’ improves water quality. Introduction: Valiya Panickan Thuruth, more popular by its acronym, ‘V.P. Thuruth’ is the 13th ward in the Methala Grama Panchayath, located adjacent to Kodungallur1. It is a riverine island located close to the confluence of Periyar River with the Arabian Sea. A series of islands2 formed in the Periyar confluence as a result of the massive flood in 13413. Consequent to the flood, the Kodungallur fort was inundated and got closed with natural embankments created by the flood. VP Thuruth4 was one such island formed in the Periyar as a result of the 1341 flood and resultant process. Satelite image of VP Thuruth at the confluence of Periyar River. A series of socio-political and economic processes converted VP thuruth from a low lying water logged land mass to a densely populated settlement colony today. These processes include reclamation and cultivation of the land using the services of tenant farmers, landlordism, tenant struggles, land reform laws enacted by the Government, redistribution of land to the tenants, creation of massive infrastructure related development projects like roads and bridges and influx of people into the Island to settle down. These processes not only changed the social and political profile of the island, but it also created problems of water scarcity, as a result of the man-made changes and interventions.
