Koipuram is a large census village in Tiruvalla, Pathanamthitta district in the state of Kerala, India.
A daily evening market was held on at the south eastern part of Koipuram, which is supposed to be, the present day Arattupuzha.
As trade flourished, the Kovilans became more influential in the area and they were the predominant power in places nearing, present day Aranmula.
Afterwards, during the Royal British Rule period, they were forced to remain under the jurisdiction of Her Majesty The Queen since they had promised allegiance to the Trivandrum Palace, where now is the present day capital of Kerala.
The rivalry between these two places extend long back to decades as both of these were the supreme powers in Aranmula boat race for over a period of time.
Evidences show that both of these palliyodams are built in a common style named 'ottamanikkaal' which is considered to be a rare form of creation.
The place offers fantastic soothing landscapes and traditions, where it is possible to see a typical Indian village life.
