Palakkad, Trade center in Kerala, India.
Palakkad stretches across the natural corridor of the Western Ghats mountain range, connecting Kerala with Tamil Nadu through the Palghat Gap.
The Palakkad Fort, constructed in 1766 under Hyder Ali of Mysore, became a British stronghold in 1790 after multiple territorial conflicts.
The Sanskrit theater tradition of Koodiyattam maintains its presence in Palakkad through performances at local temples and cultural centers.
The city connects to major transportation networks through its railway junction at Olavakod and multiple national highways crossing the region.
The district produces substantial quantities of rice in Kerala, earning recognition as the state's primary granary through its agricultural output.
