SARAKKALVILAI Sarakkalvilai is a village situated in the Kanyakumari District—the southernmost extremity of the state of Tamil Nadu, India—and is identified by the postal code 629002. It is a picturesque village that is home to a renowned tourist attraction: the Arulmigu Devi Sri Mutharamman Temple. Etymology The name "Sarakkalvilai" reflects the inherent nature of its soil. From a geological perspective, the term "Sarakkal"—a component of the village's name—denotes a specific type of soil. The subsoil in this region naturally consists of gravelly soil (a composition of red soil, laterite nodules, and stones formed by the combination of these elements). The suffix "Vilai" signifies *vilainilam* (cultivable land) or a garden—specifically, a fertile tract of land suitable for cultivating and nurturing a diverse range of crops. These aforementioned factors are the primary reasons why this village came to be known as Sarakkalvilai.
Geography The scenic village of Sarakkalvilai is situated within the Nagercoil Corporation limits in the Kanyakumari District, located in Tamil Nadu—India's southernmost state. It is situated approximately 17 kilometers from the Kanyakumari coastline, 3 kilometers from the city of Nagercoil, 70 kilometers from the city of Tirunelveli, and roughly 85 kilometers from the city of Thiruvananthapuram. Sarakkalvilai is renowned for the Arulmigu Devi Sri Mutharamman Temple; indeed, this temple stands as a prominent landmark within the Kanyakumari District.
This temple holds a unique distinction across India, as it is dedicated to two goddesses—Mutharamman (depicted as a young maiden embodying purity) and Bhadrakali Amman—each housed within its own separate sanctum sanctorum. The complex, comprising both the sanctum sanctorum and the surrounding fortress structure, is collectively known as the Arulmigu Devi Sri Mutharamman Temple. This sacred shrine boasts a history spanning over 100 years. **Language** Tamil serves as both the official and mother tongue of the village of Sarakkalvilai. The dialect of Tamil spoken by the locals here is known to be slightly infused with Malayalam influences. At times, the Tamil spoken by the residents is such that it is not easily understood by Tamil speakers residing north of the Nellai district. Furthermore, the customs and culture of the villagers continue, to this day, to represent a unique blend of both Tamil and Kerala traditions. The majority of the population in Sarakkalvilai follows the Hindu faith.
Food The culinary practices—specifically the dishes cooked and consumed by the people of Sarakkalvilai—also reflect a fusion of Tamil and Kerala traditions. These food items include *Puttu*, *Appam*, *Idiyappam*, *Ulunthan Soru* (Black Gram Rice), and Fish Curry. Popular snacks and treats include *Suthu Murukku*, *Achu Murukku*, *Karupatti Palagaram* (Jaggery-based sweets), *Mundhirikothu*, and many others. The villagers make extensive use of coconut and coconut oil in their daily cooking.
Family Deity The *Kula Deivam* (family deity) of the people of Sarakkalvilai is Devi Sri Mutharamman. Mutharamman—along with Bhadrakali Amman—represents the youthful, maiden form of Goddess Parvati (Korravai), embodying the essence of her virginity. In this sacred shrine, the Goddess is revered and addressed by a multitude of names. These include Devi Parvati, Devi Bala Parameswari, Vada Bhadrakali (the Goddess facing North), Guru Puja Kali, Devi Bhagavathi, Devi Mutharamman, and several others. (The beautiful Tamil term "Devi" conveys the specific meaning of a woman's "virginity" or maidenhood). However, the people of Sarakkalvilai affectionately refer to Devi Bala Parameswari as "Periyamma" (The Great Mother), a name imbued with deep love and reverence. When the villagers meditate upon the Goddess and offer their prayers, they are occasionally overcome with such intense emotion that they shed tears and weep in devotion. **Festivals** Four major festivals are celebrated with great grandeur in the temples located within the village of Sarakkalvilai. The first festival of the year is celebrated in the month of Chithirai, the second in Aadi, the third in Purattasi, and the fourth in Karthigai. Every year, on the Monday immediately preceding the final Tuesday of the month of Chithirai, a grand *Kodai Vizha* (temple festival) is celebrated exclusively at the Arulmigu Devi Sri Mutharamman Temple. In the month of Aadi, on the final Friday of the month, a *Kodai Vizha* is celebrated with great enthusiasm at the Arulmigu Sudalaimada Swamy Temple. During the Navaratri festival in the month of Purattasi, devotees worship the Goddess with immense piety at the Arulmigu Devi Sri Mutharamman Temple, keeping her seated in *Koluvu* (ceremonial court) for ten days. Furthermore, on the tenth day at noon, a delicious vegetarian feast is served to the entire community, bringing the festival to a fitting conclusion. In the month of Karthigai, on the final Tuesday of the month, a special *Kodai Vizha* is conducted for the Goddess at the Arulmigu Devi Sri Mutharamman Temple.
Additionally, the youth of the village come together every year to celebrate the festivals of Pongal and Deepavali (the Festival of Lights) with great fervor and spirit. During these festivals, sports competitions and cultural programs are organized for children, who are subsequently awarded prizes and felicitated for their participation.

Government School The residents of Sarakkalivilai united to donate a property—which they had collectively purchased and utilized through their own contributions—for the purpose of establishing a school. Consequently, a Government Primary School was constructed on this site, and it continues to function with excellence to this day.
Library The "Indian Republic Library" (*Bharatha Kudiyarasu Vasagasalai*) was established in Sarakkalivilai and was officially registered as Registration No. 983 with the Travancore-Cochin Library Association on October 14, 1950. Furthermore, the fact that the Honorable K. Kamarajar—the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu—graced the 18th Annual Day celebrations held on December 22, 1968, continues to be a source of great pride for us today. We continue to utilize this library today, preserving its original heritage and character. Through this institution, the residents of Sarakkalivilai and the general public are able to enhance their general knowledge and excel in their educational pursuits.
Cooperative Credit Society For the Y-183 PACCS (Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Society) established in Sarakkalivilai, 12 cents of land were donated on behalf of the village community; the said society continues to operate from this very location.
Anganwadi Center The women of Sarakkalivilai united to form an organization known as the "Sarakkalivilai Women's Association" (*Sarakkalivilai Madhar Sangam*). They established an Anganwadi center on a property that they had collectively purchased and utilized through their own contributions; this Anganwadi center continues to function with excellence to this day.
Ration Shop A Ration Shop operates in Sarakkalivilai under the administration of the Y-183 PACCS established within the village. The land upon which the Ration Shop is situated was also donated by the residents of Sarakkalivilai. **Gardening and Agriculture** The primary crops cultivated and harvested annually in Sarakkalvilai are coconut, banana, and tapioca. (Paddy cultivation was discontinued several years ago.) Although the irrigation canals and river—originally constructed by the government for irrigation purposes during the reign of the King of Travancore, Mr. Rama Varma—have fallen into disrepair due to continuous human encroachment, the landowners of Sarakkalvilai—who possess a deep passion for agriculture—continue to meticulously maintain their lands and gardens. At their own expense, they persist in their farming efforts to this day, successfully yielding bountiful harvests. Thanks to these commendable efforts, Sarakkalvilai continues to stand as a picturesque, lush green village, radiating natural beauty.
