**Tallur** is a village in the [Kundapur taluk](/source/Kundapur_taluk) of [Udupi district](/source/Udupi_district) in [Karnataka](/source/Karnataka) State of [India](/source/India). It is less than five kilometres from the town of [Kundapura](/source/Kundapura).

## Demographics

The village has a population of 3,801 of which 1,755 are males while 2,046 are females as per the Population Census of 2011.[1]

However, many unofficial estimates speculate that the population of the village has surpassed 5,000 as of 2023.

## Religious centres

Two of the prominent temples, among many ancient temples in the village, are the Shri Mahalingeshwara Temple and the Shri Kuntiamma Temple.

There is also a Catholic church named the [St Francis Assisi Church](/source/St_Francis_Assisi_Church_(Tallur)).[2]

## Geophysical features

Much of the village land is low-lying farm plains which were forests transformed for cultivation.

A minor stream of the [Chakra](/source/Chakra_River) river flows along the northern part of the village before joining the [Panchagangavalli](/source/Panchagangavalli_River) river. The stream is mostly covered by [mangroves](/source/Mangrove). There are a few scenic ditches in the village passing through its fields and into the stream. In 2020, a dyke was constructed on the stream in the Rajadi area of the village.[3]

The [Halady](/source/Halady_river) river flows to the south of the village, marking its boundary.

On the village's west is the [Uppinakudru](/source/Uppinakudru) island which is connected to the village by a [causeway](/source/Causeway). On its eastern side, it is bordered by [Hattiangady](/source/Hattiangadi).

On cloudless, sunny days the [Kodachadri](/source/Kodachadri) hill's peak is visible from the village.

The village's elevation is thirteen metres above sea level.

## Learning centres

The government primary school[4] in the village is more than one hundred and thirty-six years old, first constructed during the [British Raj](/source/British_Raj). There is a government high school in the village proper and two other government primary schools in the Uppinakudru and Sablady areas within the village's panchayat limits.

There are also more than five [anganwadis](/source/Anganwadi) within the village's panchayat boundaries.

There is also a small government library located near the panchayat office and the primary school.

There is also a family-owned and managed [special school](/source/Special_school) for the intellectually and mentally [disabled](/source/Disabled).[5] A Catholic church-owned and operated school is also functioning in the village.[6]

## Transport

The [National Highway 66](/source/National_Highway_66_(India))[7] passes through the village and it is also the junction of the road towards Neralakatte junction, [Kollur](/source/Kollur%2C_Udupi_district) and Ampar junction.

[Kundapura railway station](/source/Kundapura_railway_station) and [Senapura railway station](/source/Senapura_railway_station) are the nearest railway stations.

Except for a few privately owned boats, the village is not connected through marine and riverine modes of transportation even though it is surrounded by many water bodies and is less than five kilometres away from the Kundapura-Gangolli estuary to the [Arabian Sea](/source/Arabian_Sea).

## Local government

The village and its surrounding nine inhabited areas are governed by the Tallur Gram Panchayat which presently has eighteen elected members. In 2021, the panchayat made news by electing a migrant, daily-wage labourer as its president.[8][9][10]

A batch of local [ASHA](/source/Accredited_Social_Health_Activist) workers service basic healthcare to the villagers. A [Health & Wellness Centre](/source/Health_and_Wellness_Center) was set up near the library and panchayat office in 2021, operated by a female Community Health Officer.

The Village Administrative Officer's office too is in the same cluster of offices near the library and panchayat office.

A franchise of the [Common Services Centre](/source/Common_Service_Centres) and Grama One is also present in the village.

## Economy

Farming is the mainstay of the village's economy. A cooperative milk collection centre collects milk from the villagers and distributes government-provided and subsidised cattle feeds. There are a few cashews, coconut oil, spices and rice mills as well.

There is a branch of the [Bank of Baroda](/source/Bank_of_Baroda),[11] SCDCC Bank[12] and other co-operative banks and credit societies.

A mud tiles factory also operates on the banks of the Halady river. There are vehicle retail showrooms along with many small and medium-sized vehicle repair and service centres and metal fabrication workshops.

There are a few [convention halls](/source/Convention_centre) along with roadside eateries, bakeries, hotels, restaurants and bars.
