Kandankary is a small village in Kerala, India.[1] It is located in Champakulam Panchayat in Kuttanadu Taluk. 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. The main source of income is agriculture. The rice fields are a key feature of the place. The village is located on the banks of the Pamba River.
