Chermanangad (also spelled Cheramanagad and Chiramanangad) is a small village on the road between Kunnamkulam and Wadakanchery (Road No. SH50) in the Thrissur district of Kerala.[1]
Prehistoric burial sites, commonly known as Kodakuthy Kallu (Kudakallu) [literally meaning "stones shaped like umbrellas"], were discovered here.[2] [3] These burial sites had stones placed like umbrellas over them. These stones have been over a period of time been plundered for construction and the remaining stones shifted to museums.
These umbrella rocks of Chiramanangad are reported to have a history of over four thousand years; here people were buried in earthen urns and umbrella rocks were placed on top as landmarks.
