Maradu
Maradu (Malayalam pronunciation: [mɐɾɐɖɨ̆]) is a municipality and census town in the Ernakulam district of Kerala, India. Maradu is an inner suburb of the Kochi metropolitan area and is located 6 km (3.7 mi) south of the Kochi city centre. As per the 2011 Indian census, Maradu has a population of 44,704 people.
On 8 May 2019, the Supreme Court of India ordered five apartments in Maradu to be demolished within one month, for violation of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) rules, although only four of these apartments had yet been constructed. The incident received widespread media attention, and generated controversy across Kerala for the alleged corruption in the local government sector.
Maradu was formed in May 1953 as a Grama Panchayath and was upgraded to a municipality in November 2010.
Maradu is built on various low-lying river islands at the mouth of the Vembanad Lake
As per the 2011 Indian census, Maradu has a total population of 44,704 and a population density of 3,620 inhabitants per square kilometre (9,400/sq mi). Of this, 49.6% are male and 50.4% are female. 8.01% of the population is under 6 years of age. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes constitute 17.28% and 0.40% of the population respectively. The total literacy rate was 97.2% (98.3% for males and 96.04% for females), which is higher than the state average of 94% and the national average of 74.04%.
According to the 2011 census, Hindus are the plurality with 49% of the population adhering to the religion. Christians form a significant minority, constituting 36% of the population. Muslims constitute 15% of the population.

The annual Thalappoli festival, also known as the Maradu Vedikkettu, is held in the Maradu Kottaram Bhagavathy Temple every year, in the month of Kumbham in the Malayalam calendar. Though the festival lasts for 8–9 days, it is famous for its large fireworks displays in the last 2 days. However, in 2024, the Kerala High Court denied permission for the fireworks displays, citing safety concerns and lack of proper licensing.
