Pazhassi Raja Tomb

The Pazhassi Raja Tomb, located on the banks of the River Kabani in Mananthavady, Kerala, serves as a revered memorial to Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja, also known as the Lion of Kerala. This historical site attracts thousands of visitors annually who come to pay homage to the valiant leader. Constructed at the spot where Pazhassi Raja's body was cremated, the tomb holds significant cultural and historical importance in the region.

In March 1996, the Pazhassi Raja Tomb was converted into a museum, becoming a hub for historians, researchers, and students interested in learning about Kerala's cultural history. The museum showcases artifacts related to Pazhassi Raja's life, including his sword, along with other historical relics and information. Managed by the Kerala State Archaeology Department, the museum provides valuable insights into the life and legacy of Pazhassi Raja and the cultural heritage of Kerala.

Pazhassi Raja's enduring legacy is marked by his fierce leadership and unwavering loyalty to his subjects. Renowned for his military prowess, he achieved a rare feat by securing victories over the British forces. The Pulpally Cave, where Pazhassi Raja sought refuge before his capture by the British, stands as a testament to his courage and resilience in the face of adversity. Today, the Pazhassi Raja Tomb and Museum stand as symbols of Kerala's rich history and the enduring spirit of its people.
