Arthunkal is a beautiful place located in costal area of kerala. Arthunkal is 8 Km from Cherthala, 22 Km from Alappuzha. Around 48 Km from Kochi. The climate is moist and hot. To its West lies the Arabian Sea with its white sand beach streching from north to south.
Historians interpret the name Arthunkal differently. The oldest name was Arthikulangara and later the name was modified as Arithikulangal, and Arthunkal. Another version is that the "Siva" temple of the Puliankottu family used to conduct the 'Arattu Ulsav every year. The distance from the temple to the sea where Arattu was conducted (about two kilometers) came to be known as Arattunkal and later became Arthunkal. The third interpretation put forward by the historian and scholar Shurhamer -(the Mission work of the Jesuits Page 30) is that this place was the capital of the small Kingdome 'Moothedathu', called Moothedathunkal, gradually Moothdathunkal became Edathunkal, which in course of time got modified into Arthunkal.
