'''Thalavady''' is an [[Upper Kuttanad]]u village and [[Panchayat]] located in [[Kuttanad]]u Taluk, [[Alappuzha district]], [[Kerala]], India. The village was ruled by King of Chembakassery Kingdom.
Its geography is dominated by its vast lush green [[paddy field]], unique to Kuttanad villages, bordered by a network of canals running between the fields and the [[Pampa River]] that flows through the village. Thalavady panchayat office is located in [[Trikkayil]].

Thalavady is the site of several famous temples and churches. [[Chakkulathukavu Temple]] on the banks of Pampa river in Thalavady is one of Kerala's most popular pilgrim centres. The 25-year-old Pamba Boat race is held at Neerattupuram on the day of Uthradam.

A book describing the village in detail was published in 1982, based on a socio-economic study conducted in 1971.<ref>{{cite book |title=Slow Flows the Pampa: Socio-economic Changes in a Kuttanad Village in Kerala |first=K.

==Etymology==

Prior to 1750, it was ruled by Chempakassery Kingdom and the capital was [[Ambalapuzha]]. Chempakassery Kings had a summer palace at Thalavady. The distance between Thalavady and Ambalapuzha was about 17 kilometers. At that time there was no roadways connecting Ambalapuzha and Thalavady. Travel was possible only through waterways. The Royal party had to move between these two places frequently. Whenever the Royal entourage start from Thalavady, a ceremonial cracker will be set off. This is a message to the people to clear off the canal through which the entourage is coming. The first cracker was fired at Thalavady. The word 'Thalavedy' means first cracker. It is believed that the present name was derived from 'Thalavedi'.
