'''Vavakkad''' is a village situated along the northern border of [[Ernakulam District]], [[Paravur taluk]], [[Kerala]], South [[India]].

Vavakkad is located 27 km from the city of [[Ernakulam]] and 23 km from [http://www.cochin-airport.com/ Cochin International airport], Nedumbassery. [[National Highway (India)|National Highway]] No 66 passes within 1.5 km of the village. Famous [[Cherai Beach]] is just 4 km away.

==History==
The town's name derives from "Vaval Kadu" (literally, "forest of bats"). It was part of Thiruvithamkoor ([[Travancore]]) province before the reunion of states.

Vavakkad was the first village in Kerala to give a monthly pension to senior citizens above 70 years of age. Once famous for the production of [[coir]], this industry is now in decline.

==Library==
[[Gurudeva Memorial library]] and its surrounding ground is the center of cultural activities in Vavakkad. People meet there regularly to debate public issues. The library was founded in 1954 and named after [[Sree Narayana Guru]], who is considered to be the father of cultural reform in Kerala.

==Public figures==
[[Paravoor Bharathan]], a popular comedian in the Malayalam film industry, who expired in 2015 is from here. There are more than 300 films to his credit.
