Puthenpalli Mosque and Jaram

Puthenpalli Mosque and Jaram is a well-known pilgrimage site in the Veliyancode area of Ponnani taluk, Malappuram district. The official district tourism page records that the mosque and jaram attract devotees and connects the beginning of the local Nercha tradition with the death of the Veliancode Thangal. Malappuram District’s fairs and festivals information further identifies Puthenpalli Nercha as a major annual gathering in the southwest of the district, attended by large numbers of devotees, with neychor or ghee rice distributed as part of the observance.

This gives Puthenpalli importance not only as a shrine but also as a living centre of community memory, pilgrimage and charity. Veliyancode itself is a historic coastal village associated with social and religious reform figures, adding context to a visit. Keralam Government Revenue records confirm Veliyancode in Ponnani taluk with PIN 679579.

Visitors should expect the atmosphere to be busiest during the Nercha and should behave respectfully around prayer and shrine areas, especially when religious ceremonies are taking place.
