Thrithala - palakkad - Location : About 75 km from Palakkad on the
banks of the River Bharathappuzha near Thrissur, Palakkad district,
north Kerala.
Thrithala is noted for its monuments and historic ruins and hence,
has great archaeological importance. The ruins of a large mud fort
with a deep moat hewn from laterite and the Siva temple are notable
cultural monuments.
The Kattil Madom Temple, a domed structure made of granite slabs,
on the Pattambi-Guruvayoor road is a Buddhist monument believed to
date back to the 9th or 10th century. The temple probably marks the
transition from the Chola to the Pandya style of architecture.
The Paakkanaar memorial, a tribute to the Pariah saint, stands near
the Thrithala-Koottanad road. This is also the native place of renowned
writer and social worker V. T. Bhattathiripad.
