History Of Pulincunnoo

Kuttanad, Kerala, India
Pulincunnoo is an island village that serves as one of the most culturally significant spots in the Kuttanad region. It is famous for its majestic riverfront, dominated by the towering St. Mary's Church, which is a landmark for all passing houseboats. The village is unique because it is one of the few places in Kuttanad that feels like a mini-town, complete with an engineering college, hospitals, and schools, all accessible primarily by boat. The Pamba River flows wide and deep here, making it a major hub for houseboat traffic. The banks are lined with massive, century-old ancestral homes (Tharavads) that belong to the traditional Christian families of the region. These homes are a testament to the wealth generated by the spice trade and paddy cultivation in the early 20th century. Pulincunnoo is also known for its "Kovalam" or local ferry points, where the bustling activity of commuters provides a lively contrast to the quiet paddy fields. The village is a perfect blend of modern education and ancient traditions. Walking through its lanes, you see students in uniforms crossing the river in canoes, while elderly men sit in "Chayakkadas" (tea shops) discussing politics. It is a place where the history of Kuttanad's development is visible in every brick and every boat.
