History
In the past, Nadapuram was the place which lies in between Kuttipuram Kovilakam and Kadathanad palace. The derivation of the name Nadapuram is widely known through the two names Nagapuram and Nadapuram (land of music). Nadapuram is the place that is well-known as part of the ballad of Kadathanad and is known all over Kerala. This land witnessed the padayottam of Thacholi Othenan and Unniyarcha in earlier times. Art forms like Dafmuttu, Aravanamuttu, Poorakkali and Kolkkali were nourished in this place.
In his book Malayala Rajyam Charithrathodu Chernna Bhoomisathram, Hermen Gundert states that Nadapuram is two miles northeast to Kuttipuram; also, there is a mosque (mazjid) and a market mainly concentrated on the pepper business.
Kuttipuram was part of the famous Kurumbanad Taluk and was famous for its martial arts. Nowadays, the remnant of Kuttipuram Kovilakam is only a pond with dilapidated pavement and covered with waterweed. Unniyarcha defeated Jonakans using a wet cloth dipped in the pond.
In earlier times, Nadapuram was well known for its secular nature and was famous as a centre for Islamic teaching. Significant marks for its secularism can be noted in places like Kallachi where the Kallachi Avolam road is named in the name of ruler Tipu Sulthan.
