Chethallur is a village located in the Palakkad District of Kerala, India.

The village gained media attention with the construction of the Muriyankanni Bridge,[1] which may[clarification needed] reduce the driving distance between Kozhikode and Palakkad by around 10 km or 6.21 miles.

Each year, more than forty elephants participate in "Ezhunnallippu" on the final day of Pooram.

The folklore character, Naranath Bhranthan (also known as The madman of Naranamis) claimed to have been born in Chethallur.

As he grew up, the young boy picked up a strange hobby - rolling huge boulders up the hill near his home.
