What is "paravakkal"

Paravakkal is a southeastern Indian town in the Kadungapuram village of the Puzhakkattiri panchayath, located in the Malappuram district, in the Indian state of Kerala. It was the homeland of Valluvanad, an erstwhile kingdom in Malabar. Perinthalmanna, Malappuram, and Kottakkal are some of the major towns nearby.
