Chittlancherry

Chittilamchery (also known as Chittlancherry or Chittalancheri) () is a village in the Palakkad district of Kerala located in Vadakkanchery - Kollengode main road. It is under the administration of the Melarcode Panchayath in the Alathur Taluk.

==Etymology== The name is possibly derived from "Chuttilam Chery", which means a place surrounded by "illams" (houses of Nambudiris). Odiyamkadu in Chittlancherry which is now presently called Kodiyankadu was a place for the Odiyans who practised black magic during British regime. Womenfolk were advised not to venture out alone in the dark. With the British regime banning Odiyam cult or seva the tradition ceased to exist
