Seethangoli is a small village located 11 km north of Kasaragod town and 18 km south of Uppala in Kasaragod District, Kerala, India.
The village of Seethangoli is in the shape of a finger ring. According to local traditions, when the Sri Lankan demon Ravana abducted the Indian goddess Sitadevi, a ring fell down from her hand and became a village in that shape. So it is called 'Seethangoli' or Seeth's 'Anguli,' or ring.
Anil Kumble, former captain and the former coach of Indian national cricket team takes his last name, indicating ancestry or family origins, from this town. Recently, one of the Main Road to Govt Hospital was renamed as Anil Kumble Road in a function conducted by Kumble Panchayat.[1] [2]
