Ramavarmapuram is the northern suburb of Thrissur City in Kerala. It is home to several governmental and other institutions. The largest menhir type megalithic monument in granite in Kerala is found there.
At the time of the founding of a broadcasting station of All India Radio in Thrissur, the place where the station was established was renamed as Ramavarmapuram. Prior to that the place was known as Anappara. The original place name is still used locally. Over the years the place specified as Ramavarmapuram expanded to include the entire region in the northern suburbs of Thrissur City. After of the formation of Thrissur Municipal Corporation in September 2000, one of the fifty-two divisions of the city has been named Ramavarmapuram.
