"“Kanthalloor Sala’’ was one of the most important educational institutions in
ancient Kerala. To be precise the most important educational institution in
ancient ‘Venad’. There were people who believed that Kanthalloor Sala was
situated in Vizhinjam. As a consequence of the Chola attack Kanthalloor sala was shifted to Thiruvananthapuram. In Thiruvananthapuram Kanthalloor Sala was situated in the premises of what today we call ‘Valiya Sala’. The Siva temple in Valiya Sala is known in the official records as’Kanthalloor Siva temple’. This suggests that “Kanthalloor Sala ‘’ was situated in the premises or within the ‘Siva temple’."
