Thodupuzha
falls in the Idukki District of the state of Kerala in India. The
place has its own history which can be traced to 1000 A.D. A place
of varied flora & fauna, Thodupuzha also has numerous ancient
places of worship. Like all areas of Kerala, Thodupuzha also has
temples, churches and mosques symbolising religious unity.
Thodupuzha is a little, picturesque town situated on the banks of the Thodupuzha river.The
name Thodupuzha might have been derived from of two Malayalam words, "Thodu"
(which means canal) and "puzha" (which means river). The conjecture is that a
canal eventually became a river and that this town is close to it. There is yet another
version that the word "Thodu" also means "touching' and "puzha"
means "river", which makes it a place that touches a river. It is an ancient
town with a history dating back to many centuries ago. It is a neat, quiet town and the
cradle of religious harmony and peaceful co-existence., Christian churches, Hindu temples
and Muslim mosques abound in Thodupuzha and co-exist next to each other.
