About Thekkepuram
Administrative and geographical information about this area, separate from business or office records.
Thekkepuram is a historically recognised quarter of Kozhikode, lying between the older urban centre and the Arabian Sea, with the Kallayi River to the south. Kerala Tourism describes it as a place where distinctive architecture and trading traditions have remained visible within the modern city. Historic tharavads, mosque buildings, ponds and narrow streets are important features of its landscape. The neighbourhood is closely connected with the commercial history of Valiyangadi and with merchant families who traded in timber, rice and copra. Kuttichira is a particularly well-known area around a large pond within this broader heritage setting. Addresses in the Thekkepuram–Kuttichira sector are documented under PIN 673001, although neighbouring waterfront sectors require separate postcode checks.
