Marutha (മരുത) is a small town in Nilambur taluk of Malappuram district. Marutha is a part of Vazhikkadavu Panchayath and is known for its gold deposits along the banks of river Maruthappuzha. Maruthappuzha originates as two streams from Devala and Pandalur and joins near Marutha. Manchakkoodu is the town centre up to which bus service is available. Some buses end their service up to Chakkappadam (buses keep the name Maruthakkadavu to attract the passengers to Marutha, before opening the bridge).
