Karumadikkuttan

Karumadikkuttan (Malayalam: കരുമാടിക്കുട്ടൻ) is the nickname of a Buddha statue found in Karumady near Alappuzha, Kerala, India.

Later, in the 1930s, Sir Robert Bristow, a colonial British engineer, found the statue[3] and took appropriate actions to protect it.

Currently the statue is under the protection of the Kerala state government.

The statue is a subject of historical debate, as the reason for its partial destruction is still elusive.

[3] As per the Travancore State Manual, the idol of Karumadikkuttan is of a Jain Theerthankara.
