Pookkottur War Memorial Gate

Pookkottur War Memorial Gate is a historical memorial in Pookkottur, Malappuram district, Keralam. The Malappuram District Administration lists the gate among the district’s culture and heritage attractions and states that it is dedicated to those killed in the Pookkottur battle. The battle is remembered in connection with the turbulent events of 1921 in Malabar, giving the site significance beyond its appearance as a roadside gateway.

Pookkottur lies in Ernad taluk and is a short journey from Malappuram town, making the memorial an accessible heritage stop for travellers studying the region’s modern history. A visit is primarily interpretive rather than recreational: the value of the place lies in understanding the historical memory attached to Pookkottur and the wider Malabar uprising. Visitors can combine it with other heritage and cultural sites in Malappuram town and the surrounding Ernad area.
