Sulthan Bathery

Context

BJP state president has raised the demand to rename Sultan Bathery, a town in Wayanad to ‘Ganapathivattom'.

About

  • Sulthan Bathery is one of the three municipal towns in Wayanad and is home to a Ganapati temple once known as Ganapathyvattam.
  • The town got its name after Tipu Sultan invaded the Malabar region in the second half of 1700.
  • The Mysuru ruler’s military used Ganapathyvattam as a battery for their ammunition and the town became known as ‘Sultan’s Battery’ in British records.
