About Palakkad district
Palakkad district is one of the 14 districts in the Indian state of Kerala. It was carved out of the southeastern region of the former Malabar District of Madras State on 1 January 1957. It is located at the central region of Kerala and is the second largest district in the state after Idukki. The town of Palakkad is the district headquarters. Palakkad is bordered on the northwest by the Malappuram district, on the southwest by the Thrissur district, on the northeast by Nilgiris district, and on the east by Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu. The district is nicknamed "The granary of Kerala". Palakkad is the gateway to Kerala due to the presence of the Palakkad Gap, in the Western Ghats. The 2,383 m high Anginda peak, which is situated in the border of Palakkad district, Nilgiris district, and Malappuram district, in Silent Valley National Park, is the highest point of elevation in Palakkad district.
