Once thriving during the vibrant decades of the 1970s and 80s, this historical route served as a bustling trading path between Tamil Nadu and the major port of Kollam in Kerala. Aptly named 'The Copper Plate Circuit' in homage to Kerala's oldest copper plate document, the 'Tharisappalli Sasanam,' issued by King Ayyanadikal Thiruvadikal, granting land and privileges to Syrian Christians, providing tangible evidence of pre-European Christianity in Kerala.
