Mithrakary is a small village in Kerala, India. It is located in Muttar 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. 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'. Another and more reliable storey behind the name is that in ancient era, this village was under the control of 'Mithran' - the village ruler. From his name this village got its name.
