''' Elavanchery ''' is a village and [[gram panchayat]] near to [[Kollengode, Palakkad|Kollengode]] Town in [[Palakkad district]], [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It is situated on the foothills of Nelliyampathy mountain ranges, a part of the Western Ghats. The topography of Elevanchery is chatacterised by large areas of lush green paddy fields dotted with tall palm trees and breathtakingly beautiful rolling hills on the backdrop. This makes it an ideal location for shooting films and advertisements adding to the "laid back Kerala vibe". Thiruvananthapuram MP and Former UN Under secretary General Shashi Tharoor hails from this village. Critically acclaimed literary author and Kunjunnimash Award winner, N Balan also lives in Elevanchery. <ref>{{cite web|title=Reports of National Panchayat Directory |publisher=Ministry of Panchayati Raj |url=http://panchayatdirectory.gov.in/adminreps/viewGPmapcvills.asp?gpcode=224725&rlbtype=V |accessdate=30 December 2013 |url-status = dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131230235847/http://panchayatdirectory.gov.in/adminreps/viewGPmapcvills.asp?gpcode=224725&rlbtype=V |archivedate=30 December 2013 |df= }}</ref><br />
