Pathanamthitta district, Administrative district in Kerala, India
Pathanamthitta district spans 2,642 square kilometers with dense forests covering half its territory and three major rivers flowing through the region.
The district emerged on November 1, 1982, through the combination of segments from Kollam, Alappuzha, and Idukki districts under K. K. Nair's leadership.
The Maramon Convention draws thousands of Christian followers annually, while the Sabarimala temple receives millions of Hindu pilgrims during festival seasons.
The district operates through four municipalities, eight block panchayats, and fifty-three grama panchayats, with its headquarters located in Pathanamthitta town.
Local artisans in Aranmula maintain the centuries-old tradition of crafting metal mirrors using a special alloy and precise manufacturing techniques.
