The place

Kumbazha is a main junction nestled within the heart of Pathanamthitta Municipality of Pathanamthitta Town, located in Kerala state, India. The serene Achenkovil river gracefully meanders through this historic locale. The town's prominence is further accentuated by the terminus of the Thiruvalla - Kumbazha (SH-7) road, also known as the T.K road. Once a bustling marketplace, Kumbazha derives its name from the Malayalam word "Kumbhi," signifying an elephant, hinting at its past grandeur.
