Vadamattam is a small agriculture-based village on the Keerthiman River in the Kudavasal taluk of Tiruvarur district, Tamil Nadu, India.
The village is located next to Konerirajapuram on Kumbakonam - Karikal road i.e. 23 km from Kumbakonam Town (Bus & Train Terminus). The village is accessible by road and frequent transportation services are available from Kumbakonam, Mayiladuthurai, Aduthurai and Thiruvarur; just some of the major towns with transportation. Konerirajapuram has a post office (PIN code 612201), commercial bank, and a historic palace.
The region was once ruled by Cholas, who constructed a large Siva temple there. The origin of Vadamattam is derived from vadam-muttum, the end of a thick string which is used to pull a big chariot over the river bridge of Keerthiman (Konerirajapuram) is the village of Vadamattam Panchayat' (administrative), which is in the Vayalur region.
In the heartland of the Cauvery Delta region, the village depends on agriculture for its economic livelihood. The village has many small and well-maintained Hindu temples. It is surrounded by other small villages including Paravakari, Vayalur, Kalaparakaram, Sivanaragaram, Poongudi, Koneirajaouram, Mustagudi, and Karuveli. In addition to Hindus, Muslims and Christians are also present in the region. Many inhabitants are Vellalars and Padayachis who farm. Others are goldsmiths, carpenters, potters, nayudus, chettiyars (merchants) muthaliyars (weavers) and Scheduled people.
One of the well maintained temples is the temple of Varadharaja Perumal, alias Betha Perumal, is located at the east end of Kumbabishegam village. The temple was completed in 2005. The main gods of the temple are Pethapermumal and Vadapathira Kali. These are the deities of some 200 families who live in and around Vadamattam.
The roots of these families are believed to have been started around this Vadamattam village and adjoining villages. Many families up to Thirubuvanam village are linked to the temples of this vadamattam village. Thirubuvanam village is known traditionally for its Silk Sarees which are hand woven by the people of the village. The Ancestry of these families began from these surroundings here in the Vadamattam Village. Now these families have multiplied and are spread across the state of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and the whole of India as well. Some of the families have emigrated abroad including the United States, Europe and Australia.
During the 1960s, the village was under the control of zameen/jameen (rich land lords), but was later managed by the elected members.
The temple has other similarities to Vinayagar: Karupanna samy, Vazikarayan, Utthandrayan, Kathavarayan, Pechiamman, Kamachiamman and Pidariamman. The annual festival of "Theemithi Thiruviza" is celebrated by the villagers during the first or second week of May every year in a grand manner. The festival lasts 15 days with poocherithal, sakthi karagam, kavadi, pal-kudam, thee-mithi, annadhanam, folk dances with religious katha, dramas, and Tamil religious discourses, etc. and ends with manchal vilayattu. The village folks panchayath, nattanmai and the poojari organize a group of people to share the responsibility of putting on the function in a grand manner.
