Thaliparaba
Thaliparamba (also known as Perinchelloor and Lakshmipuram) is a Municipality in Thaliparamba taluk of Kannur district, Kerala, India. The municipal town spreads over an area of 25.04 square kilometres (9.67 sq mi) and is inhabited by 44,247 people.
Etymology
The town's name may be derived from "Tali" (plate) and "Parambu" (area), and from the legend of Rajarajeshwara Temple. According to this legend, the Ikshvaku King Maandhatha offered great penance to Shiva who in return gifted him with a Shiva Linga and instructed him to place it at a site where there had never been a cremation ground. He found a space the size of a plate in Perinchelloor, and hence the name Thaliparamba became attached to the area. Lakshmipuram, a previous name for the city, means place of prosperity.
