''' Chuzhali ''' is a village in the [[Kannur district]] of the [[India]]n state of [[Kerala]].

==History==
Chuzhali village is named after the goddess Chuzhali, as this village is the abode of Chuzhali (Durga). The main place of worship in the village is the Chuzhali Bhagavathy temple.

In ''Malabar manual'', William Logan mentioned Chuzhali as an ideal place for guerilla war, since the main land of Chuzhali is surrounded by high altitude areas, namely Kulathur, Thalakkulam, Edakkulm and Kuunam. Chuzhali Nambiar was one of the commanders of Pazhashiraja's guerilla army. It is said{{by whom|date=March 2013}} that Pazhashiraja had visited Chuzhali during his struggle against the British army. Chuzhali Nambiar was caught by the British army and was hanged at Thalassery.
