Mayiladuthurai (formerly known as Mayavaram or Mayuram) is a Special Grade Municipality[2][3] and the district headquarters of Mayiladuthurai district in Tamil Nadu, India. The town is located 256 km (159 mi) from the state capital, Chennai.

Key Information

Mayiladuthurai was ruled by Medieval Cholas and subsequently ruled by various dynasties, including the Vijayanagar Empire, Thanjavur Nayaks, Thanjavur Marathas, and the British Empire. Mayiladuthurai was a part of the erstwhile Tanjore district until India's independence in 1947, Thanjavur district until 1991, and subsequently a part of the newly formed Nagapattinam district until 2020. Mayiladuthurai was carved out of Nagapattinam district and inaugurated as the 38th district of Tamil Nadu on December 28, 2020.[4]

Mayiladuthurai is administered by a town panchayat established in 1866. As of 2008, the panchayat covered an area of 11.27 km2 (4.35 sq mi). Mayiladuthurai is within the Mayiladuthurai constituency of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly and elects its member once every five years. It is part of the Mayiladuthurai constituency of the national assembly and elects its Member of Parliament (MP) also once every five years.[5] Mayiladuthurai is well connected by road and rail transport. It serves as an important junction of the main line connecting Chennai with Trichy. Roadways and railways are the major mode of transportation to the town.[6] The nearest airport, Pondicherry Airport, is located 116 km (72 mi) away.

The town is known for agriculture and weaving. As Mayiladuthurai district is situated on the east coast, fishing plays a vital role in generating its revenue. In 2023, the district was declared a protected agricultural zone.[7]

Etymology

[edit]

Mayiladuthurai is derived from the ancient lore in which the goddess[clarification needed] Parvathi manifested herself as a peacock (mayil) to attract the attention of Lord Shiva through a miraculous dance.[8][9][10]

Mayuranathaswami Temple dedicated to the Amman is one of the most important Hindu temples in the town. There is a statue depicting goddess Amman in a peahen form worshipping lingam, an iconic symbol of Shiva.[11][12]

History

[edit]

Mayiladuthurai is of significant antiquity, its oldest extant temples dating to the time of the Medieval Cholas. The region, however, is known to have been inhabited since the 3rd millennium BC. Potsherds of megalithic black color[clarification needed] and red color ware have been found at Akkur, 14 km (8.7 mi) to the east of Mayiladuthurai.[13] In 2006, artifacts with Indus Valley signs dated between 2000 and 1500 BC were found at the nearby village of Sembiyankandiyur.[14][15] There have been references to Mayiladuthurai in the works of the 7th century Saivite saint Sambandar.[16] The Thanjavur Nayak king Raghunatha Nayak constructed mandapams in Mayiladuthurai.[17] During the 17th and 18th centuries AD, Mayiladuthurai was ruled by the Thanjavur Marathas.[18]

In 1799, Mayiladuthurai was ceded to the British East India Company, along with the rest of the Thanjavur Maratha kingdom, by the Thanjavur Maratha ruler Serfoji II.[19] Mayiladuthurai prospered under British rule, emerging as an important town in the Tanjore district. When the Tanjore district was trifurcated in 1991, Mayiladuthurai was transferred to the newly formed Nagapattinam district. Mayiladuthurai District, with the town as its headquarters, was inaugurated as the 38th district of Tamil Nadu on December 28, 2020. The district was carved out of the existing Nagapattinam district and inaugurated by former chief minister of Tamil Nadu Edappadi K. Palaniswami. The declaration was made earlier on March 24, 2020.[20][21]

Carnatic musicians Madurai Mani Iyer, Gopalakrishna Bharathi, and Samuel Vedanayagam Pillai, who wrote the first Tamil novel Prathapa Mudaliar Charithram, were connected with Mayiladuthurai, while the Tamil writer Kalki Krishnamurthy and M.S.Udhaya Moorthy studied at the Municipal High School in Mayiladuthurai.[22] According to local folklore, Mayiladuthurai was associated with Hindu holy men called "Siddhars".[22] To this day, a neighbourhood of Mayiladuthurai is called Siddharkaadu.[22]
