Origins
Pazhayan, and a deity from Kashi
Local tradition offers two accounts of the name. One holds it comes from Pazhayan, a toddy trader granted this land as his birthright by the Kollans (blacksmiths) of the old Thanjavur dynasty — the settlement was first called Pazhayannur after him. A separate temple tradition holds that an ailing Kochi Maharaja, returning from penance at Kashi, installed his family deity here beside the old Pallipuram shrine, in a place then known as Puranapuri — believed to be the origin of today's Pazhayannur; the connection between the Kochi royal family deity, the kingdom's emblem, and the Pazhayannur temple is offered as evidence.

Life & cultureസംസ്കാരം
Sitting on the Palakkad border, Pazhayannur's ties to Adi-Dravida culture are evident in its very conception of the goddess. This soil, where Thanjavur's Dravidian heritage meets Malayalam culture, carries the history of both military campaigns and koodiyattam alike — and has sent a remarkable number of people out into Kerala's arts.
