It was believed that a young Namboori (Malayali Brahmin) brought 2 young ladies from Thirumandhamkunnu to Pallavoor, assumably some time in the 17th century. From there the Pallavoor Perinchery family came in to being. Family hierarchy is strictly matriarchal in nature. Also it was the time the warriors and lieutenants of Pallava Dynasty and merchants migrated to settle and farm in the fertile banks of river Gayathri a tributary of river Nila. The original family named Perinchery still exists in Thirumandhamkunnu. Later Perinchery became landlords and rulers under colonial feudal kingdoms. They are Kiriyathil Nairs (Gruhastha Nairs).
