'''Chathannoor''' is a town in [[Kerala]] situated at the [[Kollam District]] on the banks of [[Ithikkara River]]. It is about 16 km from Kollam City. Chathannoor is around 55 km north of the state capital Thiruvananthapuram.

==Geography==
Chathannoor is located at {{coord|8|51|24|N|76|43|5|E}}. Chathannoor is well connected to other parts of Kerala by road. [[National Highway 47 (India)|National Highway 66]] (Formerly NH 47)connects [[Panavel, Maharashtra|Panavel]] and [[Kanyakumari (town)|Kanyakumari]] and passes through Chathannoor. NH 66 passes through the centre of the town. Even though the nearest railway Station is [[Paravur Railway Station|Paravur]], the residents of Chathannoor rely mostly on Kollam Railway station which is 16 km from the town and is well connected by buses. The nearest airport is [[Trivandrum Airport|Thiruvananthapuram International Airport]] which is about 52 km from the town center..
The cultural identity of the location is associated with two ancient and prominent Hindu temples Sree Bhoothanatha Temple and Chenamath Mahadeva Temple out of which the annual festival of Sree Bhoothanatha Temple is celebrated with greater intensity. The annual festival of Sree Bhoothanatha temple is famous for the event called "Eduppukuthira" . Recently the youth have started using the pictures of "Eduppukuthira" as a geographical identity. The [[Kerala State Road Transport Corporation|KSRTC]] depot in Chathannoor offers inter-district services and local services for adjacent villages like [[Paravur, Kollam|Paravur]], [[Chirakkara]], Ooyor etc..

Unlike Paravur, the proximity to the National Highway, connectivity to other parts of the district and reputed educational institutions is increasing Chathannoor's demand as a major residential area in the district.

==Politics==
Chathanoor town comes under [[Kollam (Lok Sabha constituency)]]. [[Chathannoor (Assembly constituency)|Chathannoor assembly constituency]] includes one Municipality, [[Paravur, Kollam|Paravur]], and 6 other panchayaths namely [[Adichanalloor]], Chathannoor, [[Kalluvathukkal]], [[Chirakkara]], [[Poothakkulam]] and [[Pooyappally]]<ref>{{cite web
