'''Kudallur''' is in the [[Palakkad district]] of [[Kerala]]. It is in [[Pattambi]] taluk, bordering [[Malappuram]] district, also on the banks of Bharathapuzha. The [[Bharathappuzha]] river separates Kudallur from [[Kuttippuram]] town in Malappuram district. Kudallur is a part of [[Thrithala (State Assembly constituency)]] and [[Ponnani (Lok Sabha constituency)]].

Kudallur is the meeting point of three Taluks - [[Pattambi]] Taluk, [[Ponnani taluk]] (neighbouring [[Thavanur]] village in Malappuram district), and [[Tirur Taluk]] (neighbouring Kuttippuram town).

==Administration==
This village was originally in [[Ponnani taluk]], before the formation of [[Malappuram district]] on 16 June 1969. The famous Malayalam writer [[M. T. Vasudevan Nair]] was born there. Kudallur is in the Palakkad district of Kerala.The other well-known personality from here is artist Achutan Kudallur.Among the eminent personalities of the past P.K. Moideen Kutty Sahib dominates a prominent position. He was a great Freedom Fighter who was put in British jail for several years. P.K. Moideen Kutty Sahib was an elected member to [[ Madras Assembly ]] in 1937. He also served as president at KPCC [[ Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee]] and [[ All India Congress Committee ]] AICC member.During the flood of1942, P.K. Moideen Kutty Sahib worked as a front-line warrior of all relief activities. He also played a vital role to restart the construction of [[ Kuttippuram bridge ]] which had been blocked because of [[ World War II ]]

His cousin P.K. Abdulla Kutty Sahib was another Freedom Fighter from this area. He spent many years in Kannur and Viyyoor Jails during British reign. He was well-known Gandhian and participated in “Khadi-Prasthan” in the post British era.

Kudallur, a beautiful and calm Kerala village on the banks of Bharathapuzha is in the Ottappalam taluk of Palakkad district. Scenic range of hills, wide paddy fields and the magic beauty of River Nila blends Kudallur into an exotic place. The village is famous for its illustrious son writer M.T.Vasudevan Nair. The other well known personality from here is artist Achutan Kudallur. It is at Kudallur, exactly at Koottakadavu the two rivers Nila and Thootha meet. The name 'Kudallur' ( or Koodal Ooru ) is believed to be formed from this merge of two rivers.

==Geography==
It is at Kudallur, exactly at Koottakadavu the two rivers [[Nila River|Nila]] and Thootha meet. Therefore, it is said that the place got the name from the confluence of these rivers, with 'koodal' meaning joining and 'oor' meaning place in Malayalam, thus a meeting place of the rivers. Kudallur Hills, mentioned in Nair's stories, are another point of attraction. The village is in Anakkara Panchayath, Thrithala block i.e. in Pattambi Taluk.'Vadakkumuri','Muthu Vilayum Kunnu' and 'Paarappuram' are important residential areas of Koodallur.

The other ''Kudallur'' is located in [[Pattambi]] taluk in Palakkad district itself, on the northern banks of [[Gayathripuzha]] River, a tributary of [[Bharathapuzha]]. [[Nemmara]] is the nearest town from Kudallur. The late [[historian]] Prof.K V Krishna Iyer hails from this Kudallur..
