The Archdiocese of Cranganore or Cranganor and Angamaly was a latinised Syriac Padroado Archdiocese in Kodungallur, Kerala, India.[1][2] This diocese is a product of so-called Synod of Diamper held in Chaldean Catholic Archdiocese of Angamaly and All India.[3] Its headquarters was first at St. Thomas church, Cranganore Fort until 1662 and then at Puthenchira church for more than a century. Mar Paremmakkal Thoma Kathanar, Administrator of the diocese moved its headquarters to Vadayar due to invasion of Tipu Sultan. Mar Poulose Pandari, a Chaldean Bishop belongs to Puthenchira parish of this diocese.[4][5]
