My Place
I was born in Parassini and have been living in Dharmadam for more than three decades. The city of Thalassery starts barely a kilometer away from my place of residence. So I can say that I am from Thalasseri.

An Ecological Perspective Of Madayipara
The traditional notion was that the intermittent sandstone hills were barren lands. You may think so when you see the tops and boulders of the hill that dry up in the summer. Studies over the past few decades have shown that they are not barren tropical lands, but unique habitats with extremely high water absorption potential. The traditional conception was that the red hills of the interior were wasted. The summer may be thought of when you see the black strips, but the studies on the Red Hills are a revision of traditional notions.

Ecological Significance of Madayipara
Geographically, Kerala is clearly divided into hilly, intertidal and coastal areas. Kerala is situated between the Western Ghats in the east and the Arabian Sea in the west. In fact, such hills, plains, and riverbanks are inhabited by humans. In a way, the Idanadan Hills are the source of the life and culture of the people of Kerala.

Two shrines have long been associated with the Madayi region. Madayikkavu and Madayippalli. There is no accurate historical record of Kavu's age. The goddess of the Chirakkal dynasty.
The present day temple at Vadukunda was replaced by a few ruined floors, large granite and one or two long stone pots. On the day of Pooram bath, stone tanks are filled with spices for people to drink. There will be a fairly large crowd on the cliff that day.
The main deity of the temple is Thiruvarkattu Bhagwati or Madaikkavilachi. It seems that the pre-festival was held in a grander way than it is today. Pooram is one of the most important festivals associated with Madayikkavu.
According to the old rules, on the sixth day, flowers should be made of Cupid's clay and worshiped in the pooja room.
At the beginning of the Christian era, Madayipara was the capital of the Ezhimala kings. T. Pavithran said that the most famous of the Musakavansa kings was 'Pazhi' madai, the nandan headquarters. It is to be thought that Kerala was born after Nanda's time. The temple was built in the capital city of Paazhi or Nandan Madai after the time of Nanda.
Memories Of Madayipara
If you want to experience the diverse rhythm of the rain in its beauty, you have to walk through Madayipara during the monsoons. It's a lot of fun alone. Sometimes it will be dusty, other times it will be clear. Unexpectedly, it becomes extreme. Strong winds will accompany. In any case, it rains at a slope of 40 degrees and 60 degrees.
