Aarsha Hospitality-Village Discoveries

Church Bells Homestay and History of Kanjirappally:-

This homely abode which is century old called Church Bells Homestay is located at the serene and rubber plantation filled location of Kanjirappally, Kottayam, Kerala. This home is a specimen of traditional Keralite architecture in rich wood decor and it dates back to almost a century. This home stay is ideally located near to many religious centres especially the St.Mary's Church or the Pazhayapally. The other notable fact is that this homestay also lies near the South India's largest fruit sapling production nursery called the Home Grown Biotech Nursery.

Kanjirapally at a Glance:-

Kanjirapally, a very old agrarian settlement on the fertile foothills of the Western Ghats, has traditionally been home to the largest land owning Christian families in Kerala, much like how Ottappalam had been for the Nair Hindus. This has made this place an early pocket of Christian affluence in the state. Unlike in most parts of Kerala, agricultural land in Kanjirapally has managed to remain un-fragmented to this day. The Achayans(as known locally) here take pride in the fact their affluence is completely attributed to plantation agriculture, and to no other source.

History of Kanjirapally Old Church(Pazhaya Palli):-

Pazhayapalli St Mary's Old Church, one of the oldest churches in India, has been named after Mother Mary. The church was constructed in 1449 in Kanjirappally using wood and stone. It is believed to have been renovated three to four times, but the main altar remains the same since its inception. This old church is built on the land donated by Sri Veerakerala Perumal, the erstwhile King of Thekkemcore and nephew of Cheraman Perumal.

History of Rubber Plantations:-

British planters, in the early 20th century, set up some of Asia's first rubber plantations in places near Kanjirapally. The Lucrative nature of this cash crop inspired the Christian landlords of the region to switch to Rubber, which made them the earliest native planters of Kerala. Along with plantation agriculture, the Kanjirapally Achayans picked up the unique and extravagant lifestyle of Colonial planters, which made them the most advanced group of natives in the state. Also note that it was only after rubber's firm establishment in Kanjirapally that the crop spread to other places in Kerala.

Lifestyle:-

The Kanjirapally Achayans built large estate bungalows following colonial architecture, owned vintage cars and imported rifles, sent their children - both girls & boys to reputed boarding schools in Ooty, Kodaikanal and Bangalore, set up racing clubs & hosted drinking parties, and went on Jungle Safaris. Such an extravagant lifestyle was unique to the Kanjirapally Achayans, and so, they've often been depicted in the Malayalam movies of the 70s, 80s and 90s. There are some interesting Malayali Catholic names that are unique to the Kanjirapally Achayans - Ingaachen/Dumminichen (Dominingos/Dominic - named after the St Dominic's Cathedral, Kanjirapally), Ikkalaachen (Nicholas), Ekkappan (Jacob), Dukappan (Duke), Theyyachan, Vakkamma etc are some of them.
