    Prakrti is no more there at Kumbalam.Mr. Dubey left this place and a few youngsters bought this area and created a resort named `Orion Sargam`. Kumbalam is a historical place and it is said that learned sanscrit pandits used to meet at this place occasionally and had debates and all that, in olden days.A few years back, this island was accessible only by boats and the only conveyance was motor boats.Later, N H 47 bye pass and Ernakulam --Alleppey Railway line were laid.Even when there was no other conveyance was available, students from adjoining areas came to kumbalam for education. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERE IS MORE THAN 75 YEARS OLD.
