History
[
Edit

Kayamkulam was a part of erstwhile Travancore state for a long time and was a prominent center of art and architecture. Many temples and palaces were built during that period. Some say that Kayamkulam got its name from two Malayalam words - kayam (sap of a spice tree) and kulam (pond)while others say that it got its name from "kayal" meaning ‘lake’ and ‘kulam’ meaning pond inferring that the Kayamkulam lake (Kayamkulam kayal) is as shallow as a pond
