'Ottathadipalam' is a common sight in kuttanadu. There were a lot of rivers and small canals in Kuttanadu. So these bridges are an inevitable and adventurous part of the journey. Inside part of the stem is used as a fodder for duck. Nila pana is a smaller version of the pana and it is a plant in Dashapushpam.
