| 520 | |a This paper gives a brief account of the history and geographical conditions of Devikulam high range. Geographically the area falls within the pre‐Cambrian metamorphic terrain. The study area is located in the tropical monsoonal belt experiencing alternate dry and wet periods, and hence the geomorphic processes are dominated by weathering and denudation that operate on the surface to produce a myriad of beautiful shapes and awesome structures. The average height of the area is 700 meters above mean sea level. About 80% of the area has moderately steep to steep slopes. Owing to the undulating nature of the land and its high altitude, Devikulam has a well‐ordered system of natural drainage i.e. Pambar, Idamalayar, Periyar and waterbodies. Fertile valley fills are created by the depositional action of these rivers along the river course. This has attracted people from the plains to high range for settled agriculture practices. There are several mysterious folk stories from the period of Epic Era (Mahabharata), Pandanchondiyas and Palayakarar to recent Muthuvan, based on the human culture in the area. Archaeological evidence states that human presence in the high ranges dates back to 8000 years. The petrograph, petroglyphs, Tamil vatteluthu, trident and terracotta objects found in the Anchunad valley reveals the ancient development of human culture and of settled life. However, these areas can be considered as key sites in the search for more such ancient habitation sites in Kerala. The history of the present population is very recent. In the year 1840 Ward and Connor made a trigonometric survey and subsequently vast tracts of virgin forest has been converted to tea plantations. During the late 1990s Devikulam high range areas has been transformed into a bustling tourist destination and has developed modern infrastructure facilities. | ||
