Pazhassi Raja Museum - History museum in Mananthavady - Wayanad, India

The museum on its own doesn't have much to do with king Pazhassi. Most of the exhibits are the hits used in the old days, the coins used in the old days, sketches of various other figures and their tombs and finally copy prints of the kings list of Offenders. There ain't a lot of history mentioned about the king, it's maintenance's decently.

Pazhassi tomb in Kalpetta in Wayanad district is a memorial to Pazhassi Raja - 'the Lion of Kerala'. The tomb was constructed in the place where his body was cremated, and is situated on the banks of Kabani river in Mananthavady. In March 1996, this tomb was converted to museum and today the museum is a centre in the state which attracts historians, researchers and students. The museum also contains Pazhassi Raja's sword and other information about the cultural history of Kerala.

Best place in the area to explore and understand the past. Good museum, nice artifacts. I enjoyed every moment when visiting that place. There was so much to know. The place also provides a nice view, and can be relaxing.

Small park and a gallary
