Chuzhali is a village in Kannur district in the Indian state of Kerala.The name of the village Chuzhali gradually became from the name of Chuzhali Bhagavathi ,Actually this village was under the dynasty of "Chuzhali Nambiars" . In ancient times it was under "Chuzhali Swaroopam" and the boundary was till "Koorgu" in Karnataka. Karakkattedam was heading the Chuzhali Swaroopam having control over all other edams and vast ares of land. Temples spread over Payyavur, Eruvassi, Ellaringi, Chengalai, Irukkur and Kalyadu villages come under Chuzhali Swaroopam.As the kaleidoscope of history spread over a century tilted, set patterns of social set up gave way to new order. The exist of British rule brought yeomen changes in the national level. Princely States gave way to States and the Union of India. Kerala Land Reforms Act brought about drastic changes in the janmi (landlord)-kudiyan (tenant) relations. With the dawn of the Temple Entry Proclamation, an upsurge of social interaction began. The so-called underprivileged gained self-respect and self-confidence, paving way for a quantum leap forward. Nationalisation of forests also played a vital role in shaking the foundations of the hitherto unchallenged upper echelons of society.In many cases, landlords were turned into landless and vice-versa. Once Karakkattedam had sway over vast acres of land. Records say that it had around 350,000 acres (1,400 km²) of land directly and another 150,000 acres (610 km²) indirectly, including devaswoms. Until 1960, Karakkattedam was considered to be one of the biggest landlords. During British period, Karakkattedam was entrusted with the powers to collect taxes. Both the Kerala Land Reforms Act and Nationalisation of forests affrected its edifice
