Kallada river has a place in history along with other major rivers. It is believed that Paleolithic people lived around this river in the Thenmala region. This was around 10,000 years ago. Later, the "Ay" kingdom also flourished in or around this region.kallada is a river whose serenity lies in its stillness, the pythonic pace with which it embraces the muddy riversides. Emanate from here are the rustic simplicity and emotionality of village populaces, west kallada and east kallada. Untouched by the onslaught of administrative modernization, there are many areas in both villages. Uppoodu (of east kallada), Ullurup (of west kallada) are a few to name. The virtues of the word called "kinship", define itself here better than anywhere else. These words are attempted for nothing, but to eulogise the umbilical relation between the river kallada and the unique life of rustic magnanimity, which it had given birth to.
