Palakkad Tourism

Kurumba Kavu Temple Palakkad,  Kerala
Kurumba Kavu Temple Palakkad- Kerala

The land of Palmyras trees and paddy field - that's how Palakkad is often referred to as. Palakadu and Palaghat are the other names of this place that will entice you with its myriad forms of beauties. There are temples thronged by a number of devotees with faith in their hearts and shine in their eyes; there are wildlife sanctuaries nurturing the lives of a number of animals, reptiles and birds; there is a historical fort that stand today to narrate its past and there are gramams where the inhabitants still follow the ageold customs of passing down the vedas verbally. Attractions like these are abundant in Palakkad so you can expect to get a variety of entertainment option during your trip.

And if you are thinking that Palakkad doesn't have an interesting story to tell, then think again for not only the story interesting, it is rather the only one of its type. The story relates how before a coronation ceremony, the king was found to be missing. The kings whereabouts was unknown and he also did not have any relatives to look for him. He probably did not even know about his kingdom because when he was found, he was washing dishes in a hotel in Andhara Pradesh! Moreover, even after his coronation ceremony, the king did not stay back and soon disappeared!

Whether the story is true or not is difficult to ascertain since there is nothing to prove or disapprove its authencity, nonetheless, it makes for some interesting hearing.
