Ammadam (Ammayude Idam or Aa madom, literally meaning 'the place of mother')is a village in the Thrissur district of Kerala state in India, where traditional Christians, Muslims's Hindus reside in peace. Ammadam is about away from the town of Thrissur. Until recently, the main occupation of the residents was farming or related to agriculture. The area is under the Parlam panchayat. The paddy fields of the place are called Kole and these fields are below sea level. (Kole refers to a particular type of paddy cultivation carried out from December to May and in Malayalam this word refers to a bumper yield. The Kole lands are highly fertile from the silt deposited by the flood-waters). Ammadam is separated from the sea by a small dam in Enamavu, called Enamavu Bandu.
Lately, Ammadam has been the choice of the local people in Kerala for farm and village tourism. Ammadam is surrounded by Thrissur Kole Kayal (wetlands) that attracts migratory birds in the months of October through December. Notable among them are the spot-billed pelican and the Rufous babbler.
