Ramanathichanputhoor 1


Ramanathichanputhur is a village situated near Marungoor. The village is divided into two as North and South based on the caste system. Nadars in the south part and Vellalars in the north part of the village.

South Ramanathichanputhur is blessed with Saint Roch (Arokianathar) Church. In north Ramanathichanputhur
a church for Lady of Lourdes was built during the 17th century, but for some unknown reason that church was left as it is and a new church for St.Ignatious was constructed and made as the parish church. Now the Old church is renovated and an Infant jesus statue kept inside for worship.

 The people here are mostly Roman Catholics and this parish belongs to the Kottar Diocese.
