Kallumkathara church, Pulikkuttissery, Aymanam, Kottayam

Kallumkathra St.George Jacobite Syrian church, established in AD 1817, is one of the oldest churches in the Kottayam diocese.

It is situated 10 Km west of Kottayam town, in the village of Pulikkuttissery in Aymanam Panchayath, a part of Upper Kuttanad.

The picturesque landscape and the innumerable tributaries of Meenachil river adds to the beauty of the village.

The church itself is surrounded by a canal. Till recently water transport was the only possible way to reach the church premises.

The Centenary jubilee of the Parish was celebrated on a grand scale in AD 1918. Around that time, an internal schism between two groups created serious repercussions in the Malankara Church.
