It is about 13 kilometers from Kottayam. Many very deep wells or pits which are of very small diameter can be seen in arannil kunnu. These pits might have been formed as a result of a meteorite shower in this area.As the meteorite fell in this area Meenadom got its name from veenadom. It is said that the name "Meenadom" derives from "veenadom" as the meteorite fell down here. There are about 7 schools, a Public Health Center, a Spinning Mill (PRICO), Public Libraries, an Ayurvedic Hospital, Homeo Clinic, Veterinary Clinic, Electricity Office, Telephone Exchange, National, Co-operative and Private banks, and one ITC in Meenadom.
