About Rajapalayam, Your Drop Point
Rajapalayam is a major textile town in Virudhunagar district, Tamil Nadu, roughly 75 km west of Madurai on NH 744, and connected to Srivilliputhur, Sivakasi, and Sankarankovil by state highway. The town grew through the 20th century into one of Tamil Nadu's leading cotton-spinning mill centres, with its spinning mills and dairy and milk trade forming the backbone of the local economy; it also gives its name to the Rajapalayam hound, an indigenous Indian sighthound breed developed here as a guard and hunting dog for the region's landowning families. The Sri Muthalamman Temple is the town's principal shrine, and its annual Aadi Thiruvizha festival, observed around Aadi Pournami nakshatra day, features kappu kattu (sacred thread-tying), Maha Abhishekam, Rathotsavam (chariot procession), and Thimithi fire-walking as a single continuous observance, drawing mill workers and dairy traders from surrounding towns.
