Kunnathoor Padi
Kunnathoor Padi is a village in the Payyavoor Grama Panchayat of the Kannur district in Kerala, India.
It serves as the historic center and abode (Aroodam) for the folk Hindu deity Sree Muthappan. Located 3,000 feet above sea level atop Udumbumala in the Sahyadri mountains, the region was historically ruled by the Mannanar dynasty. According to regional tradition, this historical era coincides with the lifetime and travels of Sree Muthappan. The site was managed by the Kunnummal Idathil Thiyyar family, a feudal lineage under the Mannanars, from whom the name Kunnathoor Padi originated.
