Cochin royal family all the male members were named according to the following convention
: eldest son to a mother - Rama Varma, second son - Kerala Varma and third son - Ravi Varma.

Parukutty Nethyar Amma connection

Parukutty Nethyar Amma

Viyyur, near Trichur, to a location that once housed the Trichur Zoo. That zoo had been closed in 1912 and the animals had been sent to Madras. Parukutty sold a thousand acres in Viyyur that she personally owned to the state for Rs 1. Of these, 200 acres next to the Central Jail were utilized to extend the jail grounds. She wanted to use the remaining 800 acres to create a township - Rama Varma Puram - in honour of Maharaja Rama Varma XVI. The intent was to create a university town similar to Oxford and to move the main colleges such as the Maharaja's College in Ernakulam to these premises. She also wanted to establish an engineering college, a veterinary college, an agricultural college and a medical college there."[8] A website on the history of Cochin royal family states that from the official correspondences between British India Govt officials of the period one can infer that there indeed was a plan "... to move the Maharaja’s College from Ernakulam to Ramavarmapuram near Thrissur".[9]

Pre-history of the locality

Ramavarmapuram menhir

Ramavarmapuram has a little known

Kuttoor also in Thrissur district. The monument in Ramavarmapuram is the larger of the two and measures 15 feet (4.6 m) in height and 12 feet 4 inches (3.76 m) in breadth. It is under the protection of Department of Archaeology since 1944.[10] The monument is locally known as 'Padakkallu' or 'Pulachikkallu'.[11]

These menhirs are memorials for the departed souls put up at burial sites. They belong to the Megalithic Age of Kerala, which is roughly estimated between 1000

BCE and 500 CE.[12] All such monuments have not been dated exactly. Some experts are of the view that these are the remnants of the Neolithic Age in the development of human technology
.

The Ramavarmapuram menhir is also believed to be a monument belonging to the

Sangam period in the South Indian history.[13]

Church murals

The local

themes
, painted in the traditional Kerala style.

MarGeevarghese Sahda Church, Cheroor

The Assyrian Church of the East in India is known as the Chaldean Syrian Church. Outside India the name Chaldean Church refers to that branch of the Church of the East which has a separate existence from 1553 AD when Pope consecrated a monk named John Sulaqa as the Patriarch of the Chaldeans of Babel. The head of Chaldean Church is Patriarch Cardinal Immanuel Delli who resides in Baghdad. The Catholicos Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East is Khanania Dinkha IV who resides in Chicago where a lot of Assyrians from Iran and Iraq have migrated during the 20th century.

The Chaldean Syrian Church in India is based in Trichur. The history of this church in the early centuries is the same as the history of the other Syrian churches in Kerala. From the arrival of St. Thomas till the coonen cross in 1653 the history of the Indian church is common. Therefore, referring to this period the account written by Fr. Dr. Geevarghese Panicker (a priest of the Syro-Malankara Church who accepted the Pope on 20 September 1930) published in the Journal of St. Thomas Christians, Vol. II, and No.2. Oct-Dec 2000 is reproduced below.

According to official records there are only around ten churches in Kerala having murals. All of them are at least two centuries old. The renovated St. Francis Xavier's Church has 16 murals that depict important incidents in the life of

Jesus Christ
. Blue has been extensively used in these murals in contrast to the use of red as the dominant colour in murals in Kerala. These murals have attracted a lot of media attention. They have been described as an attempt at fusion of Indian and Western traditions. The paintings are the creations of P K Sadanandan, a product of the Institute of Mural Painting, Guruvayur. [15] [16] [17]

The church authorities had christened the place where the church is located as Vijayapuram. But the place name was not accorded any official recognition and quickly faded from local usage. However, in diocese records the location of the church is still mentioned as Vijayapuram. The adjacent road junction is the Church Corner, and it is the main road cross of Ramavarmapuram. [18]
