Erattupetta (Malayalam pronunciation: [i:ra:tupe:ʈa]) is a municipality[3] in the Kottayam district of Kerala, India.

The "Eraaru" part in all the variation of the names arose from the geographical location, where the two rivers (aaru) merge as a single one.

This group also includes Hindus belonging to the Chetti tribe and the Rowthers who left Tamil areas in the 14th century.

While the Muslims, who depended on trade, settled in Eratupetta itself, the Christians moved to the nearby hills in search of fertile farmlands.

Today, Erattupetta serves as a trading center for spices, rubber, areca nut, and other agricultural products.

The town also has a significant expatriate population living in Gulf countries, particularly in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

It is represented in the Lok Sabha by Anto Antony (UDF) and in the Kerala Legislative Assembly by Sebastian Kulathunkal (LDF).
