Koil Tampuran.--The following note is extracted from the Travancore Census Report, 1901. The Koil Tampurans form a small community, made up of the descendants of the immigrant Kshatriya families from certain parts of Malabar lying to the north of Travancore and Cochin. They are also known as Koil Pantalas. In early records, the term Koviladhikarikal appears to have been used. Immemorial tradition connects the Koil Tampurans with Cheraman Perumal, and goes to say that their original settlement was Beypore. About 300 M.E. a few male members were invited to settle in Travancore, and form marital alliances with the ladies of the Travancore Royal House, known then as the Venat Svarupam. Houses were built for them at Kilimanur, six miles from Attingal, where all the female members of the Royal Family resided. In M.E. 963, eight persons--three males and five females--from the family of Aliakkotu, oppressed by the invasion of Tipu Sultan, sought shelter in Travancore. Maharaja Rama Varma received them kindly, and gave them the palace of the Tekkumkur Raja, who had been subjugated by Rama Iyen Dalawah. This site in Changanachery is still recognised as Nirazhikkottaram. In 975 M.E. one of the five ladies removed to Kirtipuram near Kantiyur (Mavelikara taluk), and thence to a village called Gramam in the same taluk. Another shifted to Pallam in the Kottayam taluk, a third to Paliyakkara in Tiruvalla, and a fourth, having no issue, continued to live at Changanachery with the fifth lady who was the youngest in the family. Raja Raaja Varma Koil Tampuran, who married Rani Lakshmi Bai, sovereign of Travancore from 985 to 990 M.E. was the eldest son of the lady that stayed at Changanachery. Their present house at that place, known as Lakshmipuram Kottaram, was named after the Koil Tampuran's royal consort. Raja Raja Varma's sister gave birth to three daughters and two sons. The eldest daughter and sons removed to Kartikapalli in 1040, and thence, in 1046, to Anantapuram in Haripad. In 1041, the second daughter and issue removed to Chemprol in Tiruvalla, while the third continued to live at Changanachery. Thus there came into existence seven families of Koil Tampurans, namely those of Kilimanur, Changanachery, Anantapuram, Pallam, Chemprol, Gramam, and Paliyakkare. Some time after 1040 M.E. (A.D. 1856), three more families, viz., those of Cherukol, Karamma, and Vatakkematham, immigrated from North Malabar.
