Pada vettum Patheenatha Panicker Sthanam/Memorial Temple at Thurayil Tharavad
Kayamkulam King had a very loyal and powerful Ezhava army headed by the legendary Ezhava warrior, Patheenatha Panicker of Varanappally family.
He was honoured with the title “Pada vettum” Patheenatha Panicker by Kayamkulam king, due to the courage and skills shown by him as a Commander in the battlefield.
Patheenatha Panicker was the son of the great warrior, Lokanatha Panicker.
During Marthanda Varma’s reign, he decided to extend his kingdom.
At that time Venad was a small kingdom with Padmanabhapuram and later, Thiruvananthapuram as its capital.
Marthanda Varma tried to conquer Kayamkulam kingdom two times, but failed both times.
Pada vettum Patheenatha Panicker was the Chief Commander of Kayamkulam king, during the battles between Venad and Kayamkulam.
Only after the appointment of Renakeerthy Chekaver (another Ezhava warrior), Marthanda Varma was able to defeat Kayamkulam.
Thus in the third and final battle between Venad and Kayamkulam in 1746, Kayamkulam was defeated and the king fled Kayamkulam.
Patheenatha Panicker of Varanappally was not killed in the battle, but chose to kill himself with a sword; in such a way that his body was cut into 3 pieces and the head was lying on the south side of Thurayil Tharavad.
A small temple was constructed in the honour of Patheenatha Panicker’s memory at that spot on the south side of Thurayil Tharavad where his head had fallen.
