'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.

These stems are used to make the handles of 'ulakka', 'thumba' and 'kodali'. These stems will not deteriorate even if it is in water.
