Perinchelloor Graamam (Graamam No. 2)

PERUMCHELLUR : Perumchellur or Chellur is a village identifiable with the present-day Taliparamba in Kannur district. It is one of the northernmost of the traditional Braahmanan settlements of Kerala. It lies on the banks of the river Parassini, near Ezhimala. These two factors have made the village geographically important. The antiquity of this village as an established Braahmanan settlement with a Parasuraaman tradition and Yaagam background goes back to the Sangam age. Three temples are simultaneously regarded as the Graamakshetrams of this village, viz. the Siva temples at Taliparamba and Kanjirangat and Krishna temple at Trichambaram.

The antiquity would link the Braahmanan settlement in Kerala in general, and the one at Chellur in particular, with the long chain of settlements on the western coast of Peninsular India. Epigraphic and literary evidences as well as the temple structure suggest the continued prosperity of Chellur through the medieval period also. Chellur may have been the point of Kerala's contact with Hindu Braahmanical culture, which played a crucial role in the formation of society in Kerala in the centuries to come.
