'''Ramanallur''' is a small islet located amid [[Kollidam]] river. This islet is a part of [[Alagiyamanavalam]] Revenue Village and [[Panchayat]], [[Ariyalur taluk]]a of [[Ariyalur district]] in the state of [[Tamil nadu]], India .

==Geography==
Ramanallur is located at . It stretches 5 km West to East and 2 km North to South.

Ramanallur consists of Mela Ramanallur and Kizha Ramanallur.

There are only 4 streets in Mela Ramanallur namely
* Vadukku Theru (North Street)
* Mela Theru (West Street)
* Therkku Theru (South Street)
* Keela Theru

Kizha Ramanallur is another Islet located near to Mela Ramanallur amid [[Kollidam]] river.

The islet has houses, a panchayat union school, a fair price shop, a temple of Pachaiamman, which was unearthed from a mound of sand by villagers and agricultural lands in which paddy and vegetables like brinjal are grown. They get water in borewells at a depth of 15 ft. Most of the people, who are land owners, said that they have been living for generations in this island village.

==Demographics==
Ramanallur had a total population of about 2500. Males constitute 50% of the population and females 50%. Ramanallur has an average literacy rate of 55%. 11% of the population is under 6 years of age.

==How they reach Mainland==
If they want to move on north side to [[Thirumanur]] in [[Ariyalur district]] or to the south side to [[Kabisthalam]] and [[Papanasam]] in [[Thanjavur district]], It is a difficult task. During summer, they use bullock carts to cross the [[Kollidam]] river to a distance of 1 km on either side. In rainy season, they use coracle when the river is full or wade through waist deep water. When the river is in spate, they are completely cut off from mainland even by the above modes of transport i.e. they are in distress.

==In hour of need==
The absence of physical connectivity is the biggest and prime problem faced by Ramanallur Villagers. Their long felt demand is for construction of bridge in the southern side connecting [[Papanasam]] and [[Kabisthalam]] villages in [[Thanjavur district]].
