Veliancode

There is difference of opinion regarding the name veliancode.The 'veliam' described in 'sanga kala' books could be veliancode.Another opinion is that veliancode is the fort of 'velian' or 'velians'.Whatever be the origin of the name,veliancode,an old sea-port,had longstanding trade relations with Arabs and Europeans. NH 17,the life line of the area and of coastal Malabar,as we know,is only modemisation and renovation of the rural pathway,build by Tipu Sulthan during his 'Padayottam',to recapture Malabar from the British imperialism and also to terrorize and convert local people. Veliancode is a beautiful coastal village spanning out eastwards from Arabian sea to Naranippuzha(Narani River).Bordering Puduponnani on north and perumpadappu on south.
