Chittlancherry (also known as Chittilamchery, Chittlamcherry, Chittilancherry, and Chittilamchery) is a village in the Palakkad district of Kerala. It is under the administration of the Melarcode Panchayath in the Alathur Taluk. ==Description== Chittilamchery is a quiet village containing several small ponds (including Aanaari kolam, Kakkatu kolam, Pathyila kolam, Choram kulam, Nochukulam, and Kappal Kulam) and surrounded by paddy fields. The presiding deity of Chittilamchery is Sri Cherunatturi Amma, or Sri Cherinattury Bhagavathy. Most of the villagers rely on agriculture as their primary source of income. Facilities, such as internet facilities and mobile tower communications, are gradually being developed. The village, located on the way to Pollachi, is a crucial junction for commuters. The village comes under the Melarcode Panchayath, while the block office is at Nemmara. The ponds in Chittilancheri need more care and restoration, as they dry out completely during the summer.Recently the movie Molly Aunty Rocks starring Revathy was shot here. The connectivity via bus needs to improve .There is shortcoming of health facilities here owing to which villagers have to rush to Thrissur or Palakkad even Coimbatore in case of emergency.ATM's,petrol pump have come up which is a good sign however facilities are still needed.Manual workers are difficult to find though this a story across Kerala.Eventually Bengalis will have to be called to even pluck coconuts the way things stand today.Panchayat and the administration needs to come up with skill based opportunities to retain the youth The village is mostly Hindu, but also has Muslims and Christians who actively participate in village activities such as Chittilamchery Vela, an annual event that takes place on the 28/29 April in honor of the presiding deity. Aarattu is also celebrated in the Sri Cherunatoori Bhagavathi Temple during a week at the end of January in which cultural programs, bhajanas and devotional songs are presented. Malma kali (porattan kali) is also practiced within the temple premises. Other important temples are Swarganatha Temple, Arakunni Siva Temple and Tazhakottu Kavu. Important churches are Japamala Rani Church and Melarcode St. Antones Farona Church. Mosques are situated in Kaddampidi and Chittilamchery. Kodiyamkad (formerly known as Odiyan kadu) in Chittilancheri has produced many outstanding teachers. There is a saying that the name Kodiyamkad was created because at one time it was a base for odians—people practising black magic. Women were advised to be careful while travelling when the odians were active. However, after being banned by the British government, this practice gradually ceased. Over time, odiaymkadu came to be known as Kodiyamkadu. The Valluthan Kavu in Kodiyamkad has recently been restored. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chittlancherry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
