Mala is a small town in Thrissur district in the Indian state of Kerala, seen about 40 km towards north from the present day city of Kochi and approximately 14 Km from Chalakudy, Kodungallur and Irinjalakuda.

It is one of the popular and important places among Keralites, had a glorious past and cultural heritage where people of all caste and creed came from all parts of India and abroad for business and for settlement. Tranquillizing and exuberant beauty attracted the pilgrims like Jews (Israelites), Konkanis, Kudumbies etc. to this place. Please visit www.mala.co.in/ comprehensive details about Mala.

  • I don't have much to say about temple or the meaning about the word. Its a small, beautiful and calm town with few people having known to each other. The best about the town is the calmness.
