Pothuval (Poduval) is a caste of Ambalavasis in Kerala. The term means a common person or general servant. The males were usually employed as managers, accountants or store-keepers in temples. Pothuval women are known as Pothuvalsiars. A Pothuval house is known as Pothuvattu. Many Pothuval ancestral house (tharavad) names thus have suffix attu.
