Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja was born into Padinjare Kovilakam of Purannatt Swarupam, the royal dynasty of princely state of Kottayam. This Padinjare Kovilakam or Western Branch of this royal dynasty was located at Pazhassi. So came the nick name Pazhassi Raja. Kingdom of Kottayam covered what is today Talassery taluk [1000 sq.km] of Kannur District and Raja of Kottayam was also in possession of Wynad District [2000 sq.km]. Head-quarters of this kingdom was located in Kottayam, a small town not far from Tellicherry.
