Thrithala
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.
Getting there:
Nearest railway station: Pattambi, about 19 km from Thrithala.
Nearest airport: Coimbatore in neighbouring State of Tamilnadu, about 55 km from Palakkad town
