Not sure if this is a hoax or just really obscure, but I can't find any reliable evidence that this is an actual village. I can find evidence of a Echilamvayal Library and a Echilamvayal Bus Stop, but I'm not sure if they are part of a village by this name. A Google search brings up mostly Wikipedia mirrors.

• Delete per my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karinkuzhi‎, note that this was created by the same editor, who has no other edits, the co-ordinates listed in the article do not correspond to a place by this name. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 00:57, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I don't know if this helps at all, but Bing maps shows it as a village in India, though it also links to this article. Adamtt9 (talk) 01:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. It's not a complete hoax and the place appears to be a real locality alternately spelled Eachilamvayal. It comes up in postal databases associated with with Vellur/Vellora, but matching hits conflict. However it is not on any of the 4 village lists from the Kannur district website. I haven't found anything to verify the place as an independent settlement. • Gene93k (talk) 19:47, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
