Kattusseri

Kattusseri

Kattusseri is a small village in Alathur Taluk, in the Palakkad district of Kerala, south India. The festival of "Pudiyankam-Kattusseri Vela" is held here, as well as in the neighbouring village of Pudiyankam.

The name Kattusseri, or Kattussery, might have evolved over a period of time from the word "Kattu cheri", meaning a place located in the foothills of a forest, as Kattusseri is located in the foothills of a mountain named Veezhumala. There is a little-known ruin of an old temple at the peak of Veezhumala. Hindu legend states that Veezhumala is a piece fallen from Sanjeevani, which was being carried by the god Hanuman.
