==History==
The area is known locally as "Sairandhrivanam", Literally, in Malayalam: ''Sairandhri's Valley''. In Hindu history, Sairandhri is Draupadi, the wife of the five Pandavas, who disguised herself as Sairandhri, queen Sudeshna's assistant, while they were in exile.〔KEECHAKA VADHAM, "''Slaying of Keechaka''", story from the Hindu epic Mahabharatham, retrieved 3/7/2007.("''Slaying of Keechaka''" )〕 〔In the court of King Virata, "''Narayan's Mahabharata''", p. 93, retrieved 3/9/2007("''Narayan's Mahabharata''", Audio )〕. The legend says that the Pandavas, deprived of their kingdom, set out on a 13-year exile. They wandered south, into what is now Kerala, deeper and deeper into its forests, until one day they came upon a magical valley where rolling grasslands dipped into wooded ravines, where a deep green river bubbled its course through impenetrable forest, where at dawn and twilight the tiger and elephant would drink together at the water's edge, where all was harmonious and man unknown. Beside that river, in a cave on a hill slope, the Pandavas halted.
