MythsAccording to the myths, Pandavas along with their spouse Panchali had a sojourn there at time of one-year exile.[13] Hence the place got its name Panchalimedu which derived from the words "Panchali" (Draupadi) and "medu" (hill). The local tribes there offered selfless helps to the Kuru princes. Pandavas left the region before the beginning of one year incognito. They rewarded an idol of Goddess Durga to the tribal chief for their helps and instructed them to worship Devi. But, unexpected incidents occurred when the tribes worshipped Devi by following their own uncivilized puja methods. Hence the place became uninhabitable for them. Later, Devi herself moved to the present Valliyamkavu region and presided there. In light of this myth, people still believe that Panchalimedu is the moola sthana or sanctum sanctorum of Devi.[14] At present, there is a small temple dedicated to Goddess Bhuvaneswari, which can be approached by a walkway from the main road. The temple which hadn't daily poojas in the past is currently under the administration of Travancore Devaswom Board. The granite edicts found there depicts the linkage of the place to ancient history.[15] Several Shiva lingas, Trishulas (trident) and Nāga idols are also placed near the shrine.[16] A small circular pond known as Panchalikulam is situated there, in which Pandavas and Panchali took their daily bath.[17] It is about {{cvt|5|dm}} in diameter. Even during hot summers, it will be filled by plenty of water.[18] One cave also exist there named Pandavaguha (cave of Pandavas), in which the footprints of Bhima can be witnessed.[19] Local folks still believe that it is the footprints of the mighty Bhima himself.[20] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://blessingsonthenet.com/travel-india/destination/id/504/pachalimedu|website=blessingsonthenet.com|title=Pachalimedu - BlessingsOnTheNet.com - destination › Panchalimedu|access-date=2016-12-05}} {{commons category|Panchalimedu}}2. ^{{Cite news|url=http://travel.manoramaonline.com/travel/getting-around-kerala/panchalimedu-pit-stop-travel-solitude-unexplored-kerala-day-trip-green-hills.html|title=Panchalimedu: Beyond a pit-stop|newspaper=OnManorama|access-date=2016-12-03}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=http://panchalimedu.com/about-panchalimedu/|title=Panchalimedu - Near Kuttikkanam in Idukki district of Kerala|newspaper=Panchalimedu|language=en-US|access-date=2016-12-03}} 4. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.co.in/books?id=RWCiAgAAQBAJ&dq=Panchalimedu&source=gbs_navlinks_s|title=The Story of Peermade|last=The Story of Peermade|first=Peermade|last2=George|first2=Thengummoottil|publisher=George Thengummoottil|year=2014|isbn=8192888606|location=|pages=59|quote=|via=}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.dreamlandhillresort.com/placestovisit.htm|title=panchalimedu kuttikanam, parunthumpara kuttikkanam, peeru hills, travancore palace, pattumala church|website=www.dreamlandhillresort.com|access-date=2016-12-03}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://kuttikanamcastle.com/placestovisit.html|website=kuttikanamcastle.com|title=Places To Visit - Kuttikanam Castle - kuttikanamcastle.com › placestovisit|access-date=2016-12-05}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/the-allure-of-magical-panchalimedu/article322435.ece|title=The allure of magical Panchalimedu|date=2009-03-03|newspaper=The Hindu|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X|access-date=2016-12-03}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.ksu.in/panchalimedu/|title=Panchalimedu|date=2016-01-01|newspaper=Kochi Taxi {{!}} Kerala Taxi {{!}} Kerala Tour Packages|language=en-US|access-date=2016-12-03}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ayyappatemple.in/temple-calendar.html|title=Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple Calendar 2016 - 2017 - www.ayyappatemple.in › temple-calendar|website=www.ayyappatemple.in|access-date=2016-12-05}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://thekkady.kerala1.com/places_to_visit_thekkady.html|title=Thekkady {{!}} Thekkay Kerala {{!}} Places in Thekkady {{!}} Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary {{!}} sanctuary watch towers {{!}} Kumily {{!}} Mangala Devi Temple {{!}} Chellarkovil {{!}} Vandiperiyar {{!}} Pullumedu {{!}} Grampi {{!}} Mullaperiyar Dam {{!}} Mundakayam {{!}} Panchali Medu {{!}} Valanjaganam Waterfalls {{!}} Peru hills {{!}} Amrithamedu Hills {{!}} Pallikkunnu {{!}} Vagamon {{!}} The Moonhill {{!}} Patumaala {{!}} Places in Thekkady {{!}} Thekkady|website=thekkady.kerala1.com|access-date=2016-12-04}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.keralabeing.com/2016/03/panchalimedu-hill-station.html|title=Panchalimedu, Hill Station|website=www.keralabeing.com|access-date=2016-12-03}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.keralatourism.org/destination/peeru-hills-idukki/99|website=www.keralatourism.org|access-date=2016-12-05|title=Peeru Hills near Kuttikanam, Idukki - Kerala Tourism - www.keralatourism.org › destination}} 13. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.keralatrips.co.in/2015/05/panchalimedu-idukki.html|title=Panchalimedu, Idukki|newspaper=Kerala Trips|access-date=2016-12-03}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.valliyamkavudevitemple.com/history.html|website=www.valliyamkavudevitemple.com|title=Valliyamkavu Devi temple - History|access-date=2016-12-05}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=http://halokerala.com/destinations/hills/peermede/website=halokerala.com|title=Peermede Tour - Thrisangu Hills - Summer Palace - Halo Backwaters - halokerala.com › destinations › peermede|access-date=2016-12-05}} 16. ^{{Cite web|url=http://panchalimedu.org|title=Panchalimedu - Home|website=panchalimedu.org|access-date=2016-12-03}} 17. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.idukkibeauty.com/panchalimedu.html|title=Panchalimedu-Idukki tourist places|website=Beautiful tourist places around Idukki|language=en-CA|access-date=2016-12-03}} 18. ^{{cite web|url=http://gallery.bizhat.com/showphoto.php?photo=370822&title=panchalikulam&cat=7167|website=gallery.bizhat.com|title=Panchalikulam - BizHat.com Photo Gallery - gallery.bizhat.com ›Panchalimedu|access-date=2016-12-05}} 19. ^{{Cite web|url=http://panchalimedu.org/about.html|title=Panchalimedu - About Panchali medu|website=panchalimedu.org|access-date=2016-12-03}} 20. ^{{Cite web|url=http://naturecalling.in/kattupara-trekking/|title=Nature Calling {{!}} Kattupara trekking|website=naturecalling.in|access-date=2016-12-03}} External links
