Peruvanam (Peruvanam Gramam) is a historical area of Brahmin settlement in central Kerala.[1] In Kerala Sanskrit literature, the name "Peruvanam" is often Sanskritized as Puruvana meaning the forest where a sage named Puru lived and meditated.[2][3][4] The name "Perumanam" is also used instead of Peruvanam.[5][6]
