The muthumakkathazhi or nannangadi is a megalithic burial monument in which the corpse is buried in a big urn.  During the Sangha era these burial urns were called Muthumakkachadi (chadi and thazhi have the same   meaning - big urn). The burial function was called ‘eemam.’ In Tamil, a cemetery is called Eemakkadu.  In north Kerala these burial pots are called nannangadis. There was also a practice to keep weapons along with the corpse in the muthumakkathazhis. The nannangadis were mostly discovered from the coastal areas. Thazhis were found in Kodungallur, Panangad and Eaniyoor areas.
