Kayamkulam is a small village in the Indian state of Kerala. It is on India’s western coast, near the city of Kochi. The distance between Alleppey and Quilon, two locations that connect Kerala’s backwaters and Kayamkulam is about the same. One of Kerala’s biggest thermal power plants is the NTPC-run Rajiv Gandhi Combined Cycle Power Plant. Not only that, but there are also a lot of old cashew plants around. The legend of Kayamkulam Kochunni, a well-known highwayman in central Thiruvithamkoor in the 1st century, is closely tied to this place. People say that, like Robin Hood, he stole from the rich and gave to the poor.
