The name "Thirumarayoor" originated from an event linked with the epic of "Ramayana". When Ravan kidnapped Seetha and went to Lanka in his Pushpaka vimaana, on his way Jattayu tried to stop Ravan. Enraged Ravan sliced off Jattayu's wings . Jattayu who lost his balance fell to the ground with his body continuously rotating in the air. The name "Thirumarayoor" is originated from two malayalam words " Thirinju Marinju" meaning "getting rotated in several ways" and "Ooru" meaning "place". Hence the name "Thirumarayoor" means "place where the rotation happened". Jattayu lost his balance and rotated in the air and moved through the sky above Thirumarayoor.
