Vizhunthayambalam.

It is a village almost 3 to 4kilometers south of Marthandam belonging to Killioor Taluk of Kanyakumari Dist. It has all the potential to become a town sooner or later. The name of the village is derived from a church which fell (vizhuntha ambalam). St Antony's Church at the heart of the village is an attraction. The prosperity of this place within a small period of time is attributable to the selfless contribution from people like Rev. Fr. Joseph & Rev. Fr.Lucas to the educational system. Fr. Joseph was successful to commence a school(Presently, St Joseph Higher secondary school) at this place in early 1980s and Rev. Fr Lucas could continue the momentum by raising a bigger church & beginning Annai Velankanni College at Tholoyavattam. The literacy rate of this region increased since then.
