Approximately 15 miles (25 km) as the crow flies from Alleppey is the prosperous town of Kottayam. In fact, it is the first town in India to attain 100 percent literacy. A major commercial centre of Kerala, Kottayam lies in the foothills of the Western Ghats, beautiful backwaters to its west and scenic, fertile mountains to its east. A major centre of the trade in rubber, tea, coffee, pepper, cardamom (Kerala is the original home of cardamom), and other produce from the plantations to its east, Kottayam's prosperity is echoed in the city's facilities. The best known churches are the historic Valia Palli and Cheria Palli, both with colourful frescoes enriching their dim interiors. In the 9th century Valia Palli, there are Pahlavi inscriptions and a stone cross said to have been carved by St Thomas. This cross, it is believed, came from the first church Thomas founded in Kerala, in Kodungallur.
