context_page_description: Sanoor is a village in the southern state of Karnataka, India. During the British Raj, the village was headed by the Patels. Since independence, it has been administered by a mandala Panchayati raj. The nearest court is in Karkala, 5 kilometres 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 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 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.
context_section_description: National Highway 50, the former NH-13, passes through Sanoor. Other major roads include State Highway-1 (SH-1) connecting Kalasa-Kudremukha and Padubidri. Rural buses originate from the Karkala bus station (city bus stand); routes are named by source and destination, rather than number. The nearest seaport, airport and city bus station are in Mangalore, 50 kilometres (31 mi) away. A rail station in Udupi, part of the Konkan Railway Thiruvananthapuram-Mumbai route and 37 kilometres (23 mi) from Sanoor, provides service to Goa. Traffic on NH-50 and other roads is heavy, and raised roads with no skirting pose hazards to pedestrians, animals and reptiles.
