Pathiramanal

Pathiramanal (Malayalam: പാതിരാമണൽ) is a small island in Muhamma panchayat of Alappuzha district located in Vembanad Lake.

The island (also known as Anantha Padmanabhan Thoppu) was purchased by Chevalier ACM Anthraper, from M/s Bheemji Devji Trust of Cochin and was under the private ownership of Thaimattathil Family until the late seventies.

[4] When Land Reforms Acts were enforced in the State in 1979, the island came under government ownership.

It was later transferred to the Tourism Department and the idea of leasing it out to private enterprises was under consideration.

Till the late 1970s, 14 worker families resided in the island, who were later rehabilitated on the mainland in the Muhamma panchayath.
