Extract from the Nilgiris Gezetter

Extract from Nilgiris Gazetter by W.Francis 1908 (page 369)

Nambolakod:- About 5  1/2 miles north-west of Gudalur and the chief place in the amsam of the same name.  Its temple to Betarayasvami (or Betaikarsvmi) is of some  local repute.  The old fort from which it gets its name is now overgrown with lantana.  It was formerly the residence of the Valunnavar  referred to in the account of  Devala on P.367.

Official papers say that it was one time the whole amsam belonged to certain ‘Malayarans’  who, being unable to defend themselves from devastating hands of free-booters,  sought  the protection  of Kurumbarnad Raja,  who at last agreed to send his son Valunnavar to rule over them on consideration of seven granaries  as his private property.   About 1826 the place was held by one Kelukutty Valunnavar, who (if not actually half-witted, as was freely alleged) was so unfitted for his position that he fell into great financial straits. Certain land alleged to be to be his Janmam  property was sold  in 1836  by order  of Wyanaad district munisif and this afterwards passed to the Nilambur Thirumalpad.  The next year the Tirumulpad obtained the assignment of all the rest of the Valunnavr`s property,  but the deed did not convey any Janmam  right .  Kelukutty died in 1844 leaving a sister named Subadra and her son.  They were living at the time at Muttil near Gudalur, on the charity of the frequenters of the temple,  and there is much evidence to show that, like her brother,  she was of unsound mind.  The Tirumulpad however soon afterwards induced her and her son to move to Nilambur,  where the latter died in 1845.  In 1853 the Tirumulpad obtained from Subadra a deed making over her janam rights in Nambalakod  amsam.  She died in 1872.  At the enquiry held in 1884-85 into escheats in the Wynaad, Government after much discussion decided not to call in question the Tirumulpad`s claim to janmam rights throughout the amsam.  The Mudumalai forest had been previously {in 1863) leased from him for 99 years.
