Uma Thomas is an Indian politician serving as a member of the Kerala Legislative Assembly, representing Thrikkakkara assembly. She won the 2022 Thrikkakara byelections with a margin of 25,016 votes, which were held due to the death of her husband P. T. Thomas.[1] Uma Thomas is the lone woman member from INC in Kerala Legislative Assembly.[2][3]

She fell from 15 feet height from a temporary stage set up in the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium Kochi on 29 December 2024. The Mridanga Vision and Oscar Events had organized a Bharatnatyam event in a bid for Guinness Book of World Record.[4][5][6]
