Kainakary is a village in Kuttanad Taluk in Allappuzha District of Kerala state. It was part of the erstwhile Chembakassery dynasty. It is famous for its unspoiled scenic beauty. Five rivers originating from the Western Ghats, including the sacred River Pamba drain into the Vembanad lake
in the tip of Kainakary. The lush green coconut trees and paddy fields
surrounded by blue water will give a refreshing trip to every tourist.
Kainakary is synonymous with Kettuvallam or houseboats. Once a communist bastion, its literacy rate is top compared to many counterparts. Kainakary is famous for its Snake boat
race rowers. Near about 15 years back the village lacks a kilometer of
tarred road but the scenario has completely changed due to the Alappuzha
Changanassery Highway. The major income is still from Agriculture and
fishing despite tourism. Blessed Kuriakose Elias Chavara, one of the founding fathers and the first Superior General of C.M.I., born here.
The path-breaking kayal reclamations (agricultural land reclaimed
from Vembanad lake-bed) Venad Kayal and Madathil kayal which are located
in Kainakary village opened up a new era in agriculture in Kerala. This
pioneering reclamation was carried out by Pallithanam Mathai Luka of
Kainady village in Kuttanadu. It paved way for many other large scale reclamations in the Vembanadu lake and Kuttanadu became the rice-bowl of Kerala.
