Mithrakary (മിത്രക്കരി) is a small village in Kuttanadu Taluk. It is located in Muttar Panchayat. It is presumed that this region (most part of Kuttanad) was a very big forest in ancient years, but later destroyed by a forest fire. It is still possible to see "kari" (coal) if we dig deep into the soil. So this place name end-up with Kari. This village was the property of a well-known Brahmin family named 'Mithra Madom' in early days. The Brahmin family name 'Mithra' and the concept of the land arise from 'Karies' joined to form the name of this village - 'Mithra' 'Kari'.
