After leading a short rebellion against the British, he is said to have ended his life rather than face humiliation at the hands of his opponents. There is a monument erected here as a memorial to his valour.
The ancient Bhagwathy Temple here has some superb stone sculptures. The annual fair is held here in February or March. The Kerala institute of folklore and folk arts functions from here.
