'''Taliparamba''' (also known as '''Perinchelloor''' and '''Lakshmipuram''') is a [[Municipalities of Kerala|Municipality]] and [[List of taluks of Kerala|Taluk]] of [[Kannur district]] in Kerala state, India. The municipal town spreads over an area of {{convert|18.96|km2|sqmi}} and is inhabited by 44,247 number of people.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040616075334/http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archive-date=2004-06-16|title= Census of India 2011: Data from the 2011 Census, including cities, villages and towns (Provisional)|access-date=2008-11-01|publisher= Census Commission of India}}</ref>

==Etymology==
The town's name may be derived from "Tali" (plate) and "Parambu" (area or ground), and from the legend of [[Rajarajeshwara Temple]]. According to this legend, the [[Ikshvaku]] King [[Mandhata|Maandhatha]] offered great penance to [[Shiva]] who in return gifted him with a [[Lingam|Shiva Linga]] and instructed him to place it at a site where there had never been a cremation ground. He found a space the size of a plate in Perinchelloor, and hence the name Taliparamba became attached to the area. Lakshmipuram, a previous name for the city, means place of prosperity.
