Hindi term or phrase: Moukina Mouroudiep

Dear India experts,

Do you know the coastal village of "Moukina Mouroudiep" [sic!] located in Kerala, or have a detailed map of Kerala?

I have to translate and proofread a film script where many geographical names are misspelled (have typos).

So I would like to know whether this proper name is spelled correctly. If not, could you please provide the correct spelling?

The whole sequence goes as follows:

"In India, it’s always a good idea to compare information to obtain an objective opinion. The group has moved further north to the village of **Moukina Mouroudiep**. Access to the beach is difficult, but there are plenty of children willing to show them a track through the coconut grove leading to a good surfing spot."

Thank you very much!

Explanation:
It is somewhat difficult to know the exact spellings of villages unless and until someone lives nearby them because the names of villages are seldom used in news and current affairs' programmes. I am pasting hereinbelow the link of a Kerala map:

You may also see the other maps of Kerala by clicking on this link:

Or, you may try to use Google Earth because it has the names of cities, places and main villages of all the countries of the world. It might prove helpful for you.

Reference: Your note above

I have visited the webpage. Since Malayalam is spoken in Kerala, it is natural that the names of villages and other places would be in Malayalam but these have been transliterated in English, so it would be helpful for you.
