'''Pazhayangadi''' (Also called '''Payangadi'''), is a small township, approximately 22 kilometers north of district headquarters [[Kannur]], 14 kilometers south of [[Payyanur]] and 14 kilometers west of [[Taliparamba]] in the [[India|Indian]] state of [[Kerala]]. In the local language of Malayalam it literally means "Old Market". The town is bounded by the Madayi Hills ([[Madayippara]]) on the west and by the Pazhayangadi River on the south. [[Ezhimala]], a range of hills, that is believed to be home to a variety of medical herbs including mrithasanjeevini, and a very ancient [[recorded history]], is situated nearly 8 km west of Pazhayangadi. Pazhayangadi town is spread over [[Madayi]] and [[Ezhome]] Panchayaths. Madayi Hill offers a splendid scene of [[Ezhimala]] which means a chain of seven mountains, where the [[Indian Naval Academy]] is situated.

==History==
From before the period of known history, some chapters of the [[Ramayana]] and local Hindu legends associate the [[Ezhimala Hill]]s with the famous epic, in particular with Lord [[Hanuman]].<ref name="google1993">{{Cite book|title = Ezhimala: The Abode of the Naval Academy|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=7Hue54bWk6IC|publisher = Northern Book Centre|date = 1993-01-01|isbn = 9788172110529|first = Murkot|last = Ramunny}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title = Kerala District Gazetteers: Palghat|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=PDJuAAAAMAAJ|publisher = printed by the Superintendent of Govt. Presses|date = 1976-01-01|place = Kerala, India|first = C. K.|last = Kareem}}</ref>

Ezhimala, Pazhayangadi, and several villages and towns in this region find plenty of mention in the extant Tamil [[Sangam Period]]'s literature (500 BC to 300 AD). Pazhayangadi is the present corrupted form of its ancient name of Pazhi. Pazhi is mentioned as the ancient capital of King ''Udayan Venmon Nannan'' (known as ''Nannan'' or ''Nandan'') of the [[Mushika Kingdom|Mushika]] or [[Kolathiri]] Royal Family. Though the Dynasty of ''Nannan''s was a cousin or sister dynasty of the Cheras and Pandyas and Cholas, warfare among them was nearly consistent, and the period of ''Nannan'' was no exception.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Indian History|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=MazdaWXQFuQC|publisher = Allied Publishers|isbn = 9788184245684}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title = History of Kerala|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=pXpuAAAAMAAJ|publisher = Vidyarthi Mithram Press & Book Depot|date = 1986-01-01|first = R.

Eventually, ''Nannan'' was killed in battle by the Chera king, ''Narmudi Cheral''. Like the other kings of the then Tamilakam cultural polity, ''Narmudi Cheral'' was a great patron of scholars and poets, and he once gifted his court-poet, ''Kappiyattu Kappiyanar'' with 40 lakhs gold coins, as a token of his poetic genius.

Extant Tamil Sangam texts describe the glory and wealth of the ancient Pazhi in the highest terms.<ref name="google1993"/> Sangam Era poets, as well as Classical Tamil poets of later centuries, like Paranar speak of the wealth of Pazhi in the greatest degree. One of the Sangam pieces, ''Akam 173'' speaks of "''Nannan'''s great mountain slopes where gold fields abound, and long bamboos dried in the Sun burst and released the unfinished pearls."<ref name="google1993"/> Noted scholar, [[Elamkulam Kunjan Pillai]] states that "It is from Kottayam (of North Malabar) and Cannanore regions of old Ezhimalainad that innumerable Roman (gold) coins have been excavated. On one (single) occasion (gold) coins that could be carried by six porters were obtained. These coins were found to belong to the period down to 491 AD".<ref name="google1993"/>

The ''Mooshaka Vamsam'', written on the Mushika (Kolathiri) family of ''Nannan'' in the Eleventh Century, also mentions Pazhayangadi several times.

==Ezhimala Hills==
Pazhayangadi is just 8 kilometers away from [[Ezhimala]] which was the later Capital of the [[Kolathiri]] Dynasty. Pazhayangadi is famous for the ''Madayi Kavu'' which was a temple associated with the [[Kolathiri]]s ([[Mushika Kingdom|Mushika]] Kings). The ''Madayi'' village which includes Pazhayangadi, is mentioned as ''Marahi'' in extant ancient texts, which was a famous port of the ancient times. Pazhayangadi has a lot of temples, such as the ''Vadakunda Shiva Templ'' at ''Madayi Para'', and the ''Eripuram Sree Krishna Temple''. The ''Tharapuram Sree Durgambika Temple'' is also a well-known temple at Pazhayangadi; and is well-known for its ''Kalampattu''; the name ''Tharapuram'' itself derived from the name of the Goddess ''Thara'' (Uchulikadavathu Bagavathi). Sree Durga, along with ''Yakshiyamma'' is worshiped here. The recorded history of Pazhayangadi and nearby places which belonged to the Kolathunadu, is described in the book 'Kolathupuzha', written by MP Kumaran.
