Karumadi Kuttan

               The shrine of Karumadi Kuttan, which stands by the side of the public canal, to the west of the Kamapuram temple, is a black granite figure of the Buddha. The Ay kings patronized Buddhism in Kerala. Though Buddhism declined in the 8^th century in this region, the sculpture is said to belong to the 9^th or 10^th century and has now installed in a small shrine to protect it.
