Angadippuram

Angadippuram was the seat of the rulers of Valluvanad in the inland country of Malabar. Its Thirumandhamkunnu temple, dedicated to the goddess, stood close to the royal centre, and the Tali Mahadeva temple is another old shrine of the settlement. A platform associated with the warriors of Valluvanad recalls the Mamankam festival at Tirunavaya, where rivalry with the Zamorin of Calicut became part of the region’s history. Fields and wooded hills surround this former centre of local power.
