Bhoothathan Kettu near Kothamangalam in Ernakulam district, Kerala is the perfect getaway for the nature freak. It is an ideal eco tourism destination providing the perfect holiday for the nature lovers with forests to trek in, birds to watch, a river for boating, rapids to shoot, a lake to fish in, and much more. The water body formed by the construction of a barrage across Periyar river and land embraced by evergreen forests and bamboo are the major attractions.
A myth associated with the place explains its name and how it came about. According to it, Bhoothams (evil spirits/ghosts) wanted to destroy the temple at Thrikariyoor dedicated to Lord Shiva. They decided to flood the region by damming the river Periyar. To do this the Bhoothams rolled down massive stones from the surrounding hills into a narrow portion of the river. Lord Shiva, realizing their intention came up with an ingenious plan to deter them. Ghosts being scared of daylight, he tricked them into believing that morning had arrived. To do this Lord Shiva imitated a roosters crow, the most common announcement of dawns arrival, on hearing which the evil spirits fled, leaving the dam incomplete. Visitors can see the structure downstream from the present dam. Later, the natural topography helped in building a dam here.
