Perumathura - Pozhi

Another Beauty of God's Own Country...
Images taken from Madanvila and Perumathura
Perumathura Pozhi is 15KM away from Kazhakkoottam junction. If you seek a calm and cool place for spending a weekend this is the right place to be in.The water is calm. The sky a faint ocher, illuminating the coconut palms on the fringes of the land.Get one of the boatmen to take you to Perumathura Pozhi (estuary). The rate is negotiable. The sands at the estuary is all yours.

Major attraction
Soak in the cool, salubrious air in this natural oxygen bar. Soon, the nascent rays of the sun flood Kadinamkulam Kayal.Kakkathuruthu is a major attraction of the villages. Here you need the help of boatmen.Kerala State Road Transport Corporation runs buses between Perumathura and Poovar, an emerging tourist destination. There is a lone eatery at Kadinamkulam. Night stay is well nigh impossible.

The two villages are ideal to laze around on a holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. When dusk falls, it is a short drive back – backbreaking for 5 km up to Kaniyapuram, and then zipping for 20 km on the National Highway 47 to the city.

Nature has endowed lavishly to the beauty of Perumathura. The golden sand beaches, Muthala pozhi, the backwaters, the traditional way of ladies spinning coir, the coconut groves, coconut trees with multiple trunks, snake boats and ‘kettuvallams’ are the most important attractions. This is a place free of environmental pollutions. So come to Perumathura, to savor the simple, clean life and the rich scenic beauty with which God has so lavishly endowed this land.

Place in history
An 1897 painting by C. Raja Raja Varma, on display at Sri Chitra Art Gallery in Thiruvananthapuram, has immortalised its scenic beauty. In the early 19th Century, the then Resident, Munroe, designed Parvathi Puthanar to link this lake with Veli. The work began in 1825. In three years, the canal became operational. Then, merchandise and travellers used to cross the lake. On one side of the lake is Murukkumpuzha.
