Karumadi Kuttan is a statue of Buddha made from granite. The name is derived from the name of the area in which this statue is located - Karumadi. The word "Kuttan" in malayalam is "Boy". (literally translated it means the Boy from Karumadi).
The statue is unique since it is half broken. Legend has it that an elephant charged towards this statue and broke right half of the statue. From the appearance of the statue, the legend does seem to be true.

This is believed to be a statue of Sri Buddha, and all devotees can do their offering there themselves. Proper road facility was made to the site after the visit of Sri. Dalai Lahma during 1970. Now the site is sunder the control of Archeological department.
Our ancisstors had told us that, there was no building or covering at that time, and this idol was sitting on the open ground nearly 100 years ago. People and animals used to cross through the karumady river just front of this idol, and one elephant going for Thakazhi temple festival, happend get annoyed and charged at the idol, loosing its left hand portion. Later on the tomb was built and further during 1962 the main bridge connecting Thakazhy and Ambalapuzha came in to being. | ||||
