Malappuram

Malappuram (literally, a land atop hills) is situated 50 km southeast of Kozhikoce. 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 Bharatpuzha.

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 Compay in Kerala) between 1792 and 1921.

The hill country has also contributed much to the cultural heritage of Kerala. It was a famous center for Hindu-vedic learning and Islamic philosophy. The temples and mosques of this district are well known for their spectacular festivals.

Along with historic monuments and diverse natural attractions, a range of cultural and ritual art forms add to its value as a destination worth visiting.
