'''Kallody''' is a village in the [[Edavaka]] [[Gram panchayat|Grama panchayath]] of the [[Wayanad district]], [[Kerala]], [[India]]. This village falls under the [[Mananthavady]] Taluk. The [[Hill Highway (Kerala)]] SH-59 passes through this village town.

Kallody is home to the [[St. George Forane Church Kallody, Wayanad]] and Chowayil Bhagavathy Temple.

==History==

This land was divided into [[Edavaka]] and [[Edachena]] "desam". The house of [[Edachena Kunkan]], one of the commanders of [[Pazhassi Raja]], was located in this area.<ref name="edvakahistory"/>

Kallody was mainly a place where people migrated from different parts of the central-south [[Kerala]], especially from the area such as [[Kottayam]], [[Thodupuzha]], and [[Moovattupuzha]] starting from the year of 1940. Vettiyankal, Mathai was the first migrant to Kallody.<ref name="edvakahistory"/> He invited several other migrants to [[Mananthavady]] to the Kallody area. The Nadukunnel family was one of the first families migrated from Pala to Kallody{{citation needed|date=July 2015}}.

==Etymology==

The word ''Kallody'' is derived from the [[Malayalam]] words ''kallu''–കല്ല് (i.e. stone) and ''ody''–ഓടി (i.e. ran),<ref name="edvakahistory">{{cite web|url=http://lsgkerala.in/edavakapanchayat/history/ | title=The History of Edavaka | accessdate=2015-07-14}}</ref> based on a century old tale of this area.

Long ago, the Kallody area was a forest. There was a [[hill]] named ''Choran Kunnu'' located on the banks of the [[Mananthavady]]-[[Pakranthalam]] hill pass. Thieves from this area used to attack merchants from [[Calicut]] to [[Mananthavady]] when they passed this hill pass. To escape from the attacks, the travellers used to carry stones with them and start running from this area. They used to pelt stones to defend from the thieves. Hence, this place named as Kallody.<ref name="edvakahistory"/>

==Education==

The Kallody area is served by several Kerala State aided schools and a couple of [[Anganwadi]]s. The main schools are
* St. Joseph's Pre-Primary School Kallody
* St. Joseph's Upper-Primary (U.P.) School Kallody
* St. Joseph's High School (H.S.) Kallody
* St. Joseph's Higher Secondary School (H.S.S.) Kallody

==Transportation==

Kallody is mainly served by the [[Kerala State Road Transport Corporation]] (K.S.R.T.C.) buses. Other than the public transport system, Kallody residents use Motor Bikes, [[Auto rickshaw]]s, or [[Taxicab]]s to commute.

The nearest railway station is in Mysore and the nearest airports are [[Kozhikode International Airport]]-120 km, [[Bengaluru International Airport]]-290 km, and [[Kannur International Airport]]-58 km.
