Why my village is called Chelakkara ?
Compiled from different sources
P.R.Ramachander
1,It seems Tipu Sultan wanted to Plunder Anthimalan Kavu and he came up to the other shore of Bharatha Puzha and asked some one where rich village is. He got a reply” ചെല്ല് അക്കരെ(chel akkara) " ie “go to the other shore “ and they started calling it Chelakkara
2, It seems roads of Chelakkara was full of ചേലമരങ്ങൾ (A tree like banyan- Ficus tsjahela) and it was called Place of Chela trees-Chelakkara
3,It seems one king distributed ചേല to the poor women of the village and it was called Chelakkara
4. ചേല് (chelu) is a word indicating beauty , Kara were places were Nairs lived.So it was called ചേലക്കര ie pretty village
5.It seems there was a small stream called ചോല(Chola) and it was called Chelakkara
