Experience the Natural Bounty of Our Enchanting Town
Changanacherry is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Kerala, the land of serene backwaters, palm-lined beaches, and lush green hills. Our town is blessed with a natural bounty of landscapes, including the Pamba River, which flows through our town, and the Vembanad Lake, which is the largest lake in Kerala. The town has a fascinating history that dates back centuries. Geologists have discovered remnants of old ships and cattamarans in Changanacherry, which suggests that the town was once submerged under water.
The inscriptions at Perunnai Temple indicate that the area now known as Perunnai was once called ‘Perunnaithal’ and was an extensive sea-shore before the 10th century. The town was known by different names before the name ‘Changanacherry’ was recorded in history in the 15th century. Some historians believe that the name ‘Changanacherry’ is derived from ‘Changa’=water and ‘Cherry’=near the sea, while others believe that it comes from ‘Sanganattusserry’, the name given to the town when Buddhists fleeing Magadha arrived in the area during the reign of the Pushyamithra Saga dynasty in B.C. 184.Changanacherry’s rich history, cultural heritage, and communal harmony make it a unique and special place, attracting visitors from all over the world.
