Shoranur

As a much sought-after movie location or as a site of architectural marvels built centuries ago, Shoranur has long been among the most popular places in Palakkad district. It is considered to be the gateway to Malabar and has the largest railway station in Kerala. The Shoranur railway station acts as a focal point to the vibrant northern half of Kerala. 

Shoranur city is situated on the banks of the Bharathapuzha river. The proximity to its railway lines has helped the town develop into a major industrial hub.  There are beautiful spots nearby like Ottappalam, famous for its legendary Chinakkathoor Pooram (temple festival), and Cheruthuruthy, home to the renowned Kerala Kalamandalam (a centre for performing arts).
