Edathala is a gram panchayat near Aluva town. It is also a village in Aluva taluk of Ernakulam district, in the state of Kerala, India.

==History== About 300 years ago, Padamattam was the place where the Lord King of Edappally fought against Kalathil Kartha. The South Indian Armory of the Indian Navy is located near the battlefield. The Pengatussery mosque and Kuzhivelippady Juma masjid which was established 172 years ago are the places of worship of the Muslim community. There are many masjids here. Launched in 1928, the Scab Fence Math and its adjacent destitute house are services. The Yattikhana, founded by Kurupali Mustafa Sahib in honor of his father, is one of the prominent religious institutions in the region. Ayurvedic physicians Pukkottil Madhava Vaidyar and SD Pharmacy have worked in their respective fields. Ayurvedic Unani Homeopathic Allopathic Medical Center is located here. Various rituals, such as untouchability, and superstitions, such as myths, existed. Serpents can be seen in most Nair homes. There is a form of worship called the frequent version. There are folk art forms like Pulluvanpattu, Onapattu, Nattuppattu, Thigh-throbbing Sastham Pattu, Kokkali and Oppana. With the advent of concrete buildings, the old architectural style of architecture has gone. There are only a handful of old-fashioned squares, and the family still lives on the floor. The legendary Pinot temple associated with the Chottanikkara Temple, the Kurumbakkavu, Kunjattu, Mukkottil, Kuzikkattu, Thottiyil, Potachira, Karukapilli, Mattappilli, Valliyamman, Puthupara Ayyappaswamy and many other old temple festivals are served by the panchayat. Once upon a time, a very big festival was held at the Pinat Bhagwati Temple. Situated at the confluence of Muslim warriors who fought with their enemies, the Peyangattussery Shaheedanar Siyaram is still a place of pilgrimage. The Centennial Mosque is home to several mosques in Mulepally, Nochima, Kodikuthumala and St. Jude Church in eight acres.
