Pulamanthole is a Panchayath in Malappuram district of Kerala, India. It is situated on the banks of the Kunthippuzha (also called Thoothappuzha). The river separates Malappuram and Palakkad districts, a new bridge has been built across it recently.
One road leading to Kolathur connects Pulamanthole to Valancheri and Malappuram. The nearest towns are Perinthalmanna (12 km) and Pattambi (11 km). State Highway - 39 connecting Perumpilavu with Nilambur pass through Pulamanthole. There is one higher secondary school and four primary schools. Alanchery Bhagavathy Kshethram is near to the Thootha river (here it is called the Pulamanthole river). Another famous temple here on the riverside is the Rudra Dhanvanthari Kshethram. This temple is the family temple of the famous Ashta vaidya family of Pulamanthole Mooss (Dhanvanthari is the God who is considered as the originator of Ayurveda, the Indian medical system). This family is also residing on the banks of the river.
