Sir,
I have not had an opportunity to visit the interior of Palaghat -- I have just passed through Palghat town couple of times. I would certainly love to visit that region.

I, incidentally hail from erstwhile composite Thanjavur district.

With regards,
Swami

Dear Swami
Thank you for the useful information.

Dear Swami
There is a village named Ayalur in Palakkad, Kerala and another town named Ayyalur in Dindigal district of Tamil Nadu.I googled in vain to find the nativity of the great musician Ayyalur Krishnan.I hope you have some reference regarding his Kerala nativity.

You can go to the website : www.rasikas.org
Under page 6 of "vidwan & vidushis" you can find postings on Ayyalore Krishnan. There is nothing about his nativity. His grandson by name R.Prashant has made a couple of postings therein.

With regards,
Swami

Dear Sri Saarangan,

The Ayyalur I am referring is in Palaghat region. I had a colleague who hails from a village called Ayyakad and he would say that Krishnan's family was humble and his father was a cook.

Also the name of 'Cartman" N.S. Ramaswamy the first director of IIM (Bangalore) who spoke with the distinctive Palaghat accent comes to my mind.

With regards,
Swami

I think N.S. Ramaswamy hails from Trichur in Kerala. May be his ancestry is from palghat region. His brother (late) N.S. Mahadevan was the Chairman of the Dhanalakshmi Bank Ltd., and I knew him personally.

Dear Sri. Sangom,

Folks like me from the heartland of Tamil Nadu can't make the fine distinction between those from Palghat and those from Trichur. My apologies.

Anyway Palghat and Trichur are contiguous just as Thanjavur and Trichy districts are. I suppose Late Sri. S. Ramakrishnan, for long Secretary of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan was from Trichur.

With regards,
Swami

Poduvals of north kerala town of payyanur are great men.They r threadless brahmin

from wikepedia,

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
Pothuval (Poduval) is a caste of Ambalavasis in Kerala. There are two classes in Pothuval community: Akappothuval and Purappthuval. Akappothuval works inside the Chuttampalam and Purappothuval works outside the Chuttampalam. Pothuvals are considered to be a part of the Nair community in Travancore, but in the Travancore caste system, they rank much higher than the similar Maarar caste. Pothuvals of Travancore are descendant from Nambuthiri fathers and Nair mothers. But unlike the Nambiars, who observe the death pollution for 12 days, the Pothuvals observe a total of 13 days of death pollution. In the north Kerala region, Pothuvals are considered as Ardha brahmins much like the Nambisans.[1]
Purappothuval comprises Mālappothuval and Chendappothuval. Mālappothuvals, like Varriers and Pushpakan Unnis, are garland makers. Chendappothuvals, like Marars in Kochi, are temple musicians. A Pothuval house is known as Pothuvattu. Many Pothuval ancestral house (tharavadu) names thus have suffix attu. Nharalattu (Nharalathu Rama Poduval) for instance is a Pothuval family name.
