KalpathyorKalpathi is a residential area in Palakkad city, Kerala, India.[2] It is famous for the Viswanatha Swamy Temple, which is located along the banks of the Kalpathy river, one of the tributaries of the Bharathapuzha. Kalpathy is also famous for its agraharam, or traditional village. It is the first heritage village in Kerala.[3] There are around 4 agraharams of Brahmins who migrated from Tamil Nadu so many years ago to Kalpathy.[4] Many temples, other than the Viswanatha Swamy Temple, are also present here. The annual festival Kalpathy Ratholsavam is held here, with chariots as the main attraction.[5][6] Kalpathy and it's neighbourhoods have witnessed large settlements of people in colonies and apartments, making it one of the major residential areas of the city.[7]
