Madai Para on which two
famous temples in North Malabar situates is an area extending to 4 sq. k.m.
There is no thick habitation on this plateau land, as the entire area is
more or less barren and not cultivable except small portions here and
there. The landscape is an attractive scene dock and the plateau is
beautifully flat so that the breeze blows over day-in and day-out in the
area giving high pleasure to the physique and mind for all those who take
visit to the place. The pure and fresh air carrying perfumes of herbs
flowing from west through Ezhimala hillocks gives extreme degree of solace
to the inhabitants residing in the valleys of this hill. The plateau does
another invaluable service also to the villagers by preserving rain waters
inside its bowels during monsoon seasons and gives the potable waters to the
low lying areas in hot summer through springs and well waters. This system
is very effectively hinders percolation of saline waters logged in the
canals and rives in all the four boundaries of Madai Panchayath to the
nearby areas. Slops of the hill on all sides covered by thick vegetation
render structural safety of the plateau land and contribute to the promotion
of green and lush to the entire village. The hillock is a paradise for the
over wintering of the migrating birds even from Siberian wilderness, owing
to is befitting environments to the flora and fauna. This remains even now
as a vast area for the cattle’s to freely graze when the cultivable lands
and razing yards all over the state are fastly disappearing. Any threats to
the existence of the present condition of Madai Para will undoubtedly
jeopardize the balance of ecology of the village. |
