==Etymology==
The word of mouth knowledge about the [[Folk etymology|etymological]] roots of the name is that at first the name was "Mullakara" which translates in [[Malayalam]] as "Land of Bamboos" which was later altered to Mulakuzha (Mula + kuzha/kula=Bamboo+Area).

==Location and climate==
This village is situated around 6 km from Chengannur taluk, and shares a border with [[Pathanamthitta district]]. A salubrious [[balneology|balneologic]] canal runs through the heart of this village from the [[Pamba River]], venerated as the "Southern Ganges".

Mulakuzha has a [[tropical climate]]. As per [[Köppen climate classification]] it has a [[tropical monsoon climate]] (''Am''). [[Precipitation]] is the lowest in January, with an average of 20 mm. In June due to the [[South-west monsoon]], the precipitation reaches its peak, with an average of 556 mm (Edavappathy). A brief spell of pre-monsoon "[[mango showers]]" hits the village sometime during March. April is the warmest month of the year and due to environmental changes such as loss of tree cover, summer begins with spikes of warm humid weather.<ref>[https://www.ncsu.edu/project/treesofstrength/benefits.htm "Trees of strength"], North Carolina State University</ref> The temperature in April averages 29.1 °C. In July, the average temperature is 26.5 °C. December is the coolest month of the year. The average temperatures vary during the year by 2.6 °C. The [[Northeast Monsoon|retreating monsoon]] with afternoon precipitation accompanied by thunder and lightning starts from mid-October (Thulavarsham). Monsoon seasons (Karkidakam) between June and August are considered apt for ayurvedic cleansing and rejuvenation therapies. From September to March the climate is pleasant and comfortable.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.climate-data.org/location/964755/ |title=Climate: Mulakuzha |publisher=Climate-Data.org |access-date=2010-01-17}}</ref>
