Pazhassiraja
Museum
The
Pazhassi Raja Museum, located at a distance of 5 kms from Kozhikode
at East Hill, houses a veritable treasure trove for historians and
connoisseurs of art.
The
museum is under the surveillance of the Archaeological Deparment of
the State. The museum and the art gallery are named after the great
Pazhassiraja Kerala Varma of the Padinjare Kovilakom of the Kottayam
Royal Family.
The
famous 'Pazhassi Revolt' (against the British East India Company
during the second half of the 1700s) was led by Pazhassiraja.
Nicknamed
the 'Lion of Kerala', Pazhassiraja is also credited with introducing
guerilla warfare in the hills of Wayanad to resist the increasingly
intolerable British colonialism. This great freedom fighter was shot
dead in an encounter on 30 November 1805 AD.
