Demographics edit
As of 2001[update] India census, Eruthenpathy had a population of 9,529 with 4,689 males and 4,840 females.[2][needs update]
There are two rivers close by - the Korayar and Varattayar - but today they are dry due to deforestation and misuse of land. The Kerala Water Authority decided to help Eruthenpathy and neighboring villages with their water issues.[3]
