Evening beauty, best sunset after a seashore you can experience

14 acre largest freshwater pond. Once owned by my wife's family.

Chirakkal Chira is a beautiful pond situated at Chirakkal village, 6 kms north of Kannur. Spread over an area of about 15 acres, it is the largest artificial pond in Kerala. It was built by Chirakkal rulers over 350 years ago, and is a testament to the vision and intelligence of the rulers of a bygone era. There are three branches of the Chirakkal family, and their kovilakams [palaces] are situated on the three sides of the pond. The Chirakkal dynasty is believed to be the descendants of Mooshaka kingdom, who ruled from the 5th to the 8th century. Kolathiri was the dynasty formed out of the Mooshaka kingdom and by the 18th century, the name Kolathiri was forgotten and Chirakkal became prominent.

Good ambience and poorly maintained

Very nice. But in tourist aspect it has to be maintained in a big way

Can have a relaxing eve facing the pond!

You have to visit atleast once in your lifetime

great place to sit and talk to friends,its now cleaned and maintained. you can see many people coming here for evening walks.

1) Very nice temple and surrounding 2) Very friendly community

Beautiful place for a walk, good for evening and morning, and must visit the nearby temples

Largest pond, must visiting place.

So beautiful place... especially chiraas length

A great potential for tourism growth

One of the largest ponds, perhaps, in Kerala. Now in a state of misuse and neglect.. Painful to see it in it's present condition.... for those who has seen it's glorious past.

It's nature's beauty with history emmedded

Biggest chira ever in Asia.

Beautiful manmade water system

It's a good water pond but too dirty

Love this place... should spare some time to visit chirakkal...

Please don't pollute this place.
