THE HISTORIC TALI TEMPLE

However the Zamorin did not found these Tali. As stated earlier, it belonged to fifty Nambudiri families of the Tali gramam. They also ran a Vedic pathasala or school at Salapuram, now called Chalapuram. They maintained intimate and cordial relations with their ruler, Porlatiri, the men even having sambandham or liaison with the thampurattis or princesses of the royal family.

Zamorin's Wrath

Their territory was besieged and invaded by the Zamorin some time about A. D. 1200. With the occupation of Calicut by the Zamorin, Porlatiri was expelled from his nadu or land. Naturally, the Nambudiris of Tali did not like this and were very unhappy.
