About Village
The Eranjoli Village Office is located at Perunthattil in the central part of the Eranjoli Grama Panchayat in Thalassery Taluk. Eranjoli was an area under the administrative influence of the Cheraman Perumaks. After that it became under British occupation and became part of Malabar. The feudal lords of Kottayam and the spheres of influence of Pazhassithampuran have played a significant role in shaping the social life of Eranjoli. Eranjoli can also be traced back to the battlefields of Hyder Ali and Tipu, the sultans of Mysore. The commercial significance of the largest karappathottam established by Brown Saip at Ancharakandi during the British rule is related to the port of Thalassery. The Thalassery-Coorg road, which paved the way for the British army to defeat Pazhassi, also passes through the eastern end of Eranjoli. The toll booth was one of the main streets in Eranjoli. The place got its name from the toll collection center of the British East India Company. Kaitheri Kunkan, a hero of Pazhassi, was hanged at Kunjikuloth. This place was also the main resting place of Veera Pazhassi. The house of Arathil Kandoth Kapparatti and the scholarly audience there were symbols of nostalgia and past pride. Kapparatti Bhavanam is the birthplace of Vengayil Kunhiraman Nayanar, the lord of the first Malayalam short story Vasana Vikrithi. Koithatta Narayanan, the father of architecture and literary thinker, was born in Perunthattu, Eranjoli. Eranjoli is the abode of Kunjambu Guri and his family, the owners of the tradition of poison medicine and astrology.
