Aymanam
Aymanam is a village in the Kottayam District of Kerala, India. It is the setting of Arundhati Roy's 1997 novel ''The God of Small Things'' where it is spelled Ayemenem. Aymanam is about 4 km on Kottayam-Parippu road. The nearest railway station, Kottayam, is 4 km away. Aymanam is 85 km from Cochin International Airport. ==Overview== ''Ay'' means "five" in Tamil and ''Vanam'' means "forests" in Sanskrit. So ''Ayvanam'', or ''Aymanam'', means "the land of five forests". These are the Vattakkadu, Thuruthikkadu, Vallyakadu, Moolakkadu, and Mekkadu forests. The forests no longer exist in Aymanam, however, a few snake grooves remain. ''Ku'' is Sanskrit for 'worst'. Thus, ''Kummanam'' means "the horrible forest".
