Nurani Village

Nurani is a renowned village in Palakkad district of kerala State (the then Malabar Dist. of Madras state) and is famous for its culture and religious fervour. Since age old days it is the seat of Brahmins. About five centuries ago brahmins – mostly scholars, pandits, vaidikas, Priests and cooks – from Thiruvannamalai in North Arcot district and other parts of Tamilnadu came here in search of pastures new and established their dwelling in the present Agraharam (village). They were held in high esteem for their expertise in Sastras, Puranas and Vedas. Many ventured on commerce, trade and agriculture and prospered.
