About Taliparamba
Taliparamba or Thaliparamba (other names Perinchelloor, Lakshmipuram) is a city and a municipality in the Kannur district, state of Kerala, spread over an area of 43.05 km2.
Taliparamba (Perinchellur) is a part of Kannur district in the state of Kerala, India. Thali means a temple built by Namboothiri. The name Taliparamba comes from place of many Thali temples.
Taliparamba originated as the Perinchalloor Brahmin settlement. The name Thaliparamba is derived from ""Thali"" (plate) and ""Parambu"" (area), and derived from the legend of Rajarajeshwara Temple. The Ikshvaku King Maandhatha offered great penance to Shiva who gifted him with a Shiva Linga and instructed him to place it at a site where there had never been a cremation ground. He found a space the size of a plate in Perinchelloor, and hence the name Thaliparamba became attached to the area. Of the 2,000 Brahman families who settled here, only 45 remain today. Many were forced to flee after the onslaught of the Islamist army of Tipu Sultan in the last 18th century.
