About Kuthalam, Your Drop Point
Kuthalam is home to the Ukthavedeeswarar Temple, a Shiva shrine counted among the 276 Paadal Petra Sthalams glorified in the 7th-century Devara Thirumurai Tevaram hymns and one of only 44 sites where all three Moovar saints (Sambandar, Appar and Sundarar) composed verses on the same deity, and is the headquarters of Kuthalam taluk in Mayiladuthurai district, Tamil Nadu, historically known by its older name Tiruthuruthi. The town lies about 10 km west of Mayiladuthurai on the SH 22 corridor, in the heart of the Cauvery delta between the Cauvery and Kollidam river branches. The town's economy depends on paddy cultivation in the surrounding delta fields and a weekly local produce market that serves nearby villages.
