Puliyanam village is situated near Angamaly in Aluva taluk in Kerala state, India. There was a time, when this was a forest full of tamarind trees, so it got its name as ‘Puliyanam’. This is situated 5km to the west from Angamaly and 11km to the north from Cochin International Airport. The nearest railway station is Angamaly. Puliyanam is famous for its educational achievement and cultural activities. Puliyanam has Kalamandalam Hyderali Memorial Kathakali Club, Millenium Arts and Sports Club, Navadhara Club, Ethernet Web Solutions, United Arts and Sports Club, Sneha Cultural Club Center. Rice, banana, coconut, coffee, rubber are the main agricultural products in Puliyanam. It is also famous for stone quarries. These stones are used for making high quality idol for temples and other complex granite forms. Bhadrakali Mattappilly Mana is a century-old Brahmin family house situated in Puliyanam. The architectural marvels of Kerala’s old Naalukettu, Ettukettu, Pathinaarukettu are all ruined nowadays. Mattappilly Mana, which is built centuries ago, is still protected.

    Along with the architechture that this place preserves, the rotten caste system is preserved by the family as well. I belong to ezhava community and this temple as their “kudumbakshetram”. I have visited this temple many times as required by my family’s “traditions” but have never seen the interior. Brahmins are allowed inside, nairs can go inside if they take a dip in the pond nearby and the “lower” castes can only pray outside. I stopped visiting this place sometime back.
