Kurichy

Kurichy is a village in Changanacherry Municipality in Kottayam district, in the southern Indian state of Kerala.

Kurichy lies on the main Central Road which runs through the entire state of Kerala.

Kurichy was formerly known as "Gurushreepuram", meaning "the land of Vishnu [Guru] and Lakshmi [Shree]", which later became truncated to its current name.

The west of Kurichy connects to places such as Kainady and Kavalam which are parts of Kuttanadu.

The Edanaattu Indalayappa Swami Temple is especially well known, and hosts the Kiratham Kathakali performance on the day of Makaravilakku.

The place is named after Sir CP Ramaswamy Iyer who was given the title "Sachivothama" by the then Maharajah of Travancore, Shri Chithira Thirunal Balaramavarma.
