'''Thirumarayoor''' is a small village situated around 7&nbsp;km from [[Piravom]] in the [[Ernakulam district]] of [[Kerala]], [[India]]. A sub-post office of [[Arakunnam]] (PIN-682313) and a co-operative bank are the only public firms operating here. The main income of people in Thirumarayoor is from agriculture. Rubber, rice and coconut are the main agricultural products.<br />
<br />
The name "Thirumarayoor" originated from an event linked with the epic of "Ramayana". Seetha was attracted by a golden deer, which was originally the Marreecha who disguised as a deer, as part of the plot of Ravana to keep Rama away and steal Seetha. While Rama was chasing the deer, it disappeared at this place. The word in Malayalam for "disappear" is "marayuka". "Thiru" is indicating something related to God and "ooru" is the place. Thus the name Thiru-mara-ooru (Thirumarayoor) was originated. This village consists of a bank, an agricultural society, many paddy fields, fishing spots, etc.<br />
