Peringammala Grama Panchayat

Peringammala Grama Panchayat is a local administrative unit covering a large area in the valley of the Ponmudi hills, bordering Tamil Nadu to the east. The panchayat operates 26 educational institutions at various levels, serving the educational needs of approximately 36,000 residents.

The name comes from Tamil and Malayalam languages, combining the words Periya and Mala to reflect the presence of large hills in the region. This naming reflects the geographical character that shaped the community's identity.

The Palod Mela festival brings together local residents, maintaining community bonds through the celebration of regional traditions specific to this part of Kerala.

The region is divided into several sub-divisions that help visitors understand its administrative layout and natural boundaries. The Vamanapuram River flows along the southern boundary, marking a key natural feature when exploring the area.

The region comprises distinct divisions such as Venkolla, Idinjar, and Ponmudi, each with its own geographic and local character. These separate areas within the panchayat create a landscape of varied communities and environments.
