Polarthiri was a royal house which ruled part of Calicut before Zamorin around 1200s and later Kadathanadu in South India. Ruled by the Polarthiries, Kadathanadu garnered renown, particularly for its association with the martial art form of Kalaripayattu, a discipline known for producing formidable warriors.
The Polarthiries, as rulers of Kadathanadu, played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural and martial identity of the land.[1][2][3][4]
