Ayroor (also spelled Ayiroor) is a village near Thiruvalla, located in the western part of Ranni taluk, in the Pathanamthitta districtinKerala state, India. It is bordered by hills and located near the Western Ghats. Ayroor was previously part of Thiruvalla taluk in Alappuzha district and is considered part of the Edanadu region in Kerala.[1] The Pamba River flows on the southern side of the village.

Tourism[edit]

The Pamba River and the surrounding hills make Ayiroor a picturesque location in central Travancore. Residents of Ayiroor cultivate coconut, rubber, cocoa, tapioca, plantains, cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, vanilla, rambutan and other crops, making the per capita income of the residents higher than the state average.[citation needed] The nearest airports are the Cochin International Airport, located 127 kilometers away, and Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, 120 kilometers away.

One of the highlights of Ayroor is the Cherukolpuzha Hindu Parishad, a religious festival that is held for a week in February. Every year since 1912, the festival is held on the dry bed of the Pamba River.[2] Snake boat races also attract people to the village.[3]

Religion[edit]

Hinduism and Christianity are the only religions in the region, with a similar number of followers.

Ayroor village used to be a part of the erstwhile Kingdom of Travancore. It is believed that the Kovilans ruled Ayroor in the past.
