Chakiniyamthadam is a village located between and in Kottayam district of Kerala. The famous river takes shape in the scenic Chakiniyamthadam, where two tributaries of the river merge at Randattumunni (Confluence of two rivers). The village hosts a large number of small-scale rubber plantations. Residents say the the name of the village may have have come from 'Chakini' (jackfruit rags) and the 'Thadam' (river bank), thanks to the large number of jackfruit trees grown on the fertile banks of two rivers. The area is witnessing demographic changes post year 2000, thanks to the development of several residential neigbourhoods, which are wiping out its once popular rubber plantations.
