Malappuram (literally, a land a tops hills) is situated 50 km southeast of Kozhikode, bounded by the Nilgiri Hills in the east, the Arabian sea in the west and Thrissur and Palakkad districts in the south. Malappuram is enriched by three great rivers flowing through it – the Chaliyar, the Kadalundi and the Bharathappuzha. Malappuram has a rich and eventful history. It was the military headquarters of the Zamorins of Kozhikode since ancient times. This district was the venue for many of the Mappila revolts (uprisings against the British East India Company in Kerala) between 1792 and 1921. It was a famous centre for Hindu – Vedic learning and Islamic philosophy and a place of cultural heritage..
