Olavanna Panchayat, adjoining the cultural heart of Malabar, Kozhikode city, is bordered to the south by the Chaliyar River.
The presence of one of Asia’s major botanical gardens, the Malabar Botanical Garden, along with the Peruvan and Kakkat islands of the Chaliyar, adds to the scenic beauty of the panchayat. This land, rich in cultural heritage, also embodies religious harmony. Traditional art forms such as Thalappoli, Theyyam, Parichamuttukal, and Kolkali are an intrinsic part of the life and breath of the people of Olavanna.
