Sanoor is a village in the southern state of Karnataka, India.[1][2] During the British Raj, the village was headed by the Patels (Patler). Since independence, it has been administered by a mandala Panchayati raj. The nearest court is in Karkala, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the village center. Sanoor has several primary schools and a government pre-university college. The Tulu language is widely spoken; other languages spoken in the village are Konkani and Kannada. The Bunt (or Nadava) and Billava were early ethnic communities, with the Marathi, Konkani and Brahmins arriving later. With Portuguese settlement, villagers converted to Catholicism. Local Muslims belong to the Moplah community, are known as Beary and speak the Beary dialect of Tulu. The Beary, living in the region for over a thousand years, may be descended from Arab (baharis; outsiders, or overseas) traders.
The village economy is based on agriculture and labour. Hamlets are Irvathuru, Pulkeri, Murathangady, Aayere and Thanada.
The weather here is very pleasant with light spells of rain during winter. During Summer, temperatures reach 35 degrees. The monsoon here is plentiful enough to fill the river that dries up at the end of summer.
The village is 4.5 km away from Karkala Town, 47 km away from Mangalore and Udupi
