Mamala is a suburb of Kochi city in the state of Kerala, India. It is situated around 9 km (5.6 mi) from Vytilla Junction and around 13 km (8 mi) from Ernakulam South railway station.
Etymology
The word "Mamala" derived from the word for the foothills of the western ghats.
History
Mamala was a border check post between Kochi and Thiruvithamkoor (tranvcore) state before 1950. The British Raj called it Mamalay; this usage can be seen at the old building of excise office at Mamala and there is a stone representing the border with letter "KO" (Malayalam) in west side and "THI" on east side of that stone placed at bottom of the small bridge. Chottanikkara temple is around 5 km away and also, Mamala is situated on the Munnar-Madurai highway.
