## Demographics

[edit]

As of 2001[update] India census, Thennala had a population of 49,214 with 23,753 males and 25,461 females.[1]

## Notes

[edit]

The Village office building was inaugurated on October 5, 1998. It is located near the Calicut-Thrissur Highway at Mele Kozhichena, opposite the RRRF Headquarters, within the Thennala Grama Panchayat Office compound. Thennala village shares its borders with Edarikkode, Nannambra, Tirurangadi, and Vengara villages. A resurvey has not been conducted in Thennala village, and the total area of the village is 2,558.67 acres.

Key government offices in the village include the Thennala Grama Panchayat, Krishi Bhavan, Veterinary Hospital, and the Government Community Health Centre (CHC). The majority of the population in the village is Muslim, followed by Hindus, with a small Christian minority. The village is known for its good religious harmony.

Most parts of the village are at a very low altitude. Perumpuzha, a tributary of the Kadalundi River, forms the boundary between Thennala and Vengara villages. The village has historically been rich in agricultural products, particularly arecanut, betel leaves, and pepper. However, agricultural production has declined over time, with many villagers now working in Gulf countries.

Due to the presence of Perumpuzha, various river species endemic to the Malabar region can be found in the village. However, there are no major tourist attractions within Thennala.
