ABOUT KASARAGOD, KERALA

Kasaragod, a part of the Kumbala Kingdom of the Kolathiris, was an important trade centre
during the medieval times, andwas a favourite destination of Arab traders. Later, it came under the

ruleof Vijayanagar Empire that vestedthe administration of the regionwith the Naikans. Chandra
giri and Bekal forts, two major tourist attractions in Kasaragod, were among a chain of forts con
structed by the powerful ShivappaNaikan. Later these came under Hyder Ali who handed them
forts

over to Tippu Sultan. The British took charge of the forts after Tippu's death in 1799. The agrarian
struggles againstexploitation in these parts contributed much to the National Movement. Post-Inde
pendence, Kasaragod became part of Kerala, during the reorganisation of States. Kasaragod is
marked by the Western Ghats that run parallel to the sea. Its 12 rivers and stretches of forest add to
its natural beauty. Climatically, Kasaragod gets enough rains during the monsoons, and is generally

pleasant throughout the year;the place gets warmer only during March-May.Apart from the spec
tacular Bekal fort and beach, Kasaragod also attracts travellers owing to theAnanthapuram Lake
Temple, Gothic-style Bela Church, copper-roofedMadhur temple, mosque founded by Malik Ibn
Dinar,Chandragiri fort, Maippady Palace once the seat of Kumbala Rajas,NityanandaAshramam
etc.
