In the last decade of the 18th Century the last Naduvazhi Nambiar of Mukundapuram Nadu died and [[Sakthan Thampuran]], the Ruler of [[Kochi]] formed Mukundapuram taluk by adding Mapranam nadu and Nandilathu nadu to Mukundapuram nadu (Muriya nadu). Sakthan Thampuran divided old Mukundapuram nadu into three properties viz.1) Aripalam 2)Thazhekkad, 3)Mukundapuram and formed old Mapranam nadu into a single Mapranam Proverty(Kattungachira, Karalam, Porathussery & Madayikkonam) for administrative and revenue purposes .
Before the arrival of Tipu Sulthan to Mukundapuram nadu in December 1789 the headquarters of Padruado Archbishops of Cranganore(Kodungallur)of Syro-Malabar Christians (Nazranis) was at Aripalam (Pookkott) of Mukkundapuram Nadu.
