Travel Tips Of Perettil Vazhiyambalam
Attingal, Kerala, India
Details: Perettil Vazhiyambalam is a historic structure that stands as a silent witness to the ancient trade routes of Kerala. A "Vazhiyambalam" is a traditional wayside rest house built by kings or wealthy patrons to provide shelter to weary travelers and merchants in the era before modern transpor tation. This particular one in Perettil is remarkably well-preserved and is under the protection of the Archaeology Department. Constructed primarily of stone and wood, it represents the humanitarian aspect of ancient Kerala governance, where providing water and shade to a stranger was considered a divine act. The structure is located on the old road connecting Varkala to the inland regions. It features a raised stone platform where travelers could sleep, and historically, it would have had a "Thanneerpandal" (water kiosk) nearby. Today, it serves as a fascinating heritage site for those interested in the architecture and social history of the Travancore kingdom. The atmosphere around the structure is nostalgic, taking you back to a time of bullock carts and foot-travelers. It is surrounded by large, old trees that have likely provided shade for centuries. Visiting this site is a quick but enriching experience that connects you with the roots of Malayalam hospitality and the architectural ingenuity of the past. It is a rare example of secular, functional architecture that has survived the test of time and urbanization.
