First, the spelling....I was watching the signs to help me remember pronunciation. I saw this place spelled Mamallipurom and Maballipurom. The next place, coming up here and on Facebook, was sometimes spelled Koncheepurom and sometimes Konjeepurom. When I asked Michael, the answer was they are trying to spell Tamil words with English letters, so whatever seems right to the sign maker goes. Makes sense to me!
