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.

In medieval times, Mayiladuthurai was ruled by the Chola Dynasty. It was subsequently part of the Pallavas, Pandiyas, Vijayanagara Empire, Thanjavur Nayak kingdom, Thanjavur Maratha kingdom, and eventually 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 28 December 2020.[4]

Mayiladuthurai is administered by a town panchayat established in 1866. In 1949, it was upgraded to a selection-grade municipality, and in 2023 it was upgraded to special-grade municipality status. As of 2025, the municipality covered an area of 11.27 km2 (4.35 mi2). 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]

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

The name Mayiladuthurai is derived from a story in which the goddess Parvathi manifested herself as a peacock (mayil) to attract the attention of Lord Shiva through a miraculous dance.[8][9][10] Mayuranathaswami Temple 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.[9][11]

History

Mayiladuthurai is known to have been inhabited since the 3rd millennium BC. Ancient pottery shards have been found at Akkur, 14 km (8.7 mi) to the east of Mayiladuthurai.[12] In 2006, artifacts with Indus Valley signs dated between 2000 and 1500 BC were found at the nearby village of Sembiyankandiyur.[13][14] There were references to Mayiladuthurai in the works of the 7th century Saivite saint Sambandar.[15]

The region's oldest extant temples date to the time of the Cholas. Epigraphic records indicate that during the Chola period, the Mayavaram region formed parts of two administrative divisions: Rajadhiraja-valanadu, named after Rajendra Cholan I and Uyyakkondar-valanadu, an administrative divisions in Kaveri delta region. During the reign of Kulottunga I and his successors, the division was also referred to by names such as Rajanarayana-valanadu, Rajasundara-valanadu, and Jayangonda-Chola-valanadu.[16][17]

An inscription discovered at Akkur in the Mayavaram records the activities of Pallava ruler Kopperunchinga I during the 13th century AD. The record states that he subdued the forces of the Hoysala Empire and exacted tribute from the Pandya dynasty before returning to the Chola dynasty country. Travelling eastward along the southern bank of the Kaveri River, he visited several sacred sites, ordered repairs to temples, and granted tax-free status to lands belonging to them.[16][17]

In the later 13th century AD, inscriptions of the Pandyas in the Mayavaram record the activities of rulers such as Jatavarman Sundara Pandya I and Maravarman Sundara Pandyan I. These inscriptions, found at Akkur temple, document temple endowments and other administrative actions.[16][17]

The Thanjavur Nayak king Raghunatha Nayak constructed mandapams in Mayiladuthurai.[18] During the 17th and 18th centuries AD, Mayiladuthurai was ruled by the Thanjavur Marathas.[19][16][17]

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.[20] 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 28 December 2020. The district was carved out of the existing Nagapattinam district.[21][22]
