Zamorin rulers of the Kingdom of Calicut (the kingdom was called Nediyiruppu Swaroopam at that time).[2]

According to some other historians, the wealth of Manavikrama royalty was kept in a treasury at Nediyiruppu and they called the place Nedi-Iruppu meaning "Got-and-placed". This treasury was located in Viruthiyil Paramba in Nediyiruppu.[2]

Culture

Nediyiruppu village has six temples, 20 mosques, and 21 Madrassas. It is a predominantly Muslim area, with Hindus in comparatively smaller numbers, so the culture of the locality is based upon Muslim traditions.[2]

People gather in mosques for evening prayer and continue to sit there after the prayers, discussing social and cultural issues. Business and family issues are also sorted out during these evening meetings. There are many libraries attached to mosques that are a rich source of Islamic studies. Some of the books are written in Arabi-Malayalam which is a version of the Malayalam language written in Arabic script.[2]

Aravanamuttu are common folk arts of this locality.[2]

The Hindu minority maintains their traditions by celebrating various festivals in their temples. Hindu rituals are performed here with a regular devotion, as in other parts of Kerala.[5]

Mini Ooty can be accessed from Musliyarangadi, Colony Road, Pookkottoor, or Vengara. The route to Mini Ooty passes other small villages, such as Melaparamba, Angadi, Thazhe Colony, Moochikundu, Poolappees and Thiruvonamoola. The roads are in good condition, and a moderately large number of visitors come to see the rolling hills and scenic views. There are many stone crushers and plantations atop the hills. There is an old Dalit
colony on the western side of the hill. The hilltop colony in this village was marked officially as Neidiyiruppu on a milestone placed at the road junction. This junction is called Colony Road Junction, after the Harijan colony, Kerala's first, in this village.
