Pallippuram (
pronunciation ) is a village near Pattambi, Kerala, India. Situated in the western extremity ('the western horn') of Palakkad District, it is 9 kilometres north-west of Pattambi, a bigger town of the district. Part of the greater Paruthur Gramapanchayat, this place stands near the confluence of Bharathapuza River (Nila) and Tutha River (Tuthapuzha), and is bounded by these rivers to the south and west respectively. The adjacent villages to Pallippuram are Muthuthala, Thiruvegappura, Irimbiliyam, Anakkara, Pattithara, and Thrithala.
Buddhism was once prevalent in Kerala. A Buddhist place of worship, the vihara, was popularly called palli in Malayalam language and several Pallippurams emerged in the geographic dominion. The Gramapanchayat is named Parudur because of the existence of several other Pallippurams in the state. Once Pallippuram was part of the "reconstituted" Valluvanad Taluk. At another point in time before that, it was also part of Nedunganad. This was when Nedunganad was under King Zamorins of Calicut (Samoothiri). During the British colonial era, this village belonged to the Ponnani taluk of the British Malabar District. On 1 January 1962, the Cherukudangad and Parudur amsams (an amsam is the smaller denomination of village administration) were merged to form today's Parudur gram panchayat.
