One of the villages is Kumarapuram which has its location between Kalpathy, Ambikapuram, and Chokkanathapuram villages. Kumarapuram is known for being a major centre for Vedic learning and the village lies on the banks of the Nila River. 

In the village of Kumarapuram, the main deity is Lord Prasanna Venkatachalapathy. The temple’s full name is SREE ALERMELU MANGLAMBAL SAMETHA KALYANA PRASANNA VENKATACHALAPATHY. The temple holds a lot of importance for the villagers and even for those who have migrated from the village to different parts of the country and abroad. The temple has one of the rare idols of Lord Sri Venkitachalapathy with his consorts Alamelu and Mangalambal.

It is said that the rituals that are performed in this temple are similar to those performed in the Tirupathi Tirumala Venkatachalapathy Temple and it is also said that the deities of the temple have equal powers like that of Lord Balaji at Tirupathi Tirumala.

One of the stories says that the temple is related to Kumaran, which is also another name of Lord Murugan and thus, the village has the name Kumarapuram. Other deities of this temple are Maha Ganapathi, Dharmasasta (Lord Ayyappan) who conserves the Brahmin Culture, and Lord Subramanya – the protector.

There is also a Government Higher Secondary School Kumarapuram in the village established in 1974 which is affiliated to the state board and the language of instruction is Malayalam. The co-educational school provides education up to class 12.
