About Kottakkal

Kottakal is a beautiful municipal town located in the Malappuram district of Kerala. The very name ‘Kottakal’ brings the glory of the ancient medical tradition of ayurveda. And it is rightly so, with the establishment of the Arya Vaidyashala in 1902 by Vaidyaratnam P.S.Warrier. The lush green villages with paddy on the banks of a river and a growing township are the two contrasting yet attractive features of Kottakal landscape. A land that captured the history of the ancient Vallyanad kingdom and its glory lives today to tell the tales with the standing ‘manas’, temples and festivals. Enjoy the rich heritage and culture of this beautiful land.
