History of Grama Panchayat

Pooyappally Grama Panchayat is a region spread across 22.28 square kilometres in Kottarakkara Taluk and under the Kottarakkara Block Panchayat of Kollam district. Although there are no clear historical records regarding the origin of the name “Pooyappally,” local belief associates it with Buddhism. The word “Pally” traditionally refers to a Buddhist monastery, school, or writing centre, leading to the assumption that Buddhism once had a strong influence in Pooyappally and Maruthamonpally. It is also believed that Buddhist followers conducted educational activities on the days of the Pooyam star, and that the place name may have originated from this tradition
