A PORTRAIT OF PUDUKKOTTAI DISTRICT

A Slice of History

Being home to the pre-historic man, as evidenced by the presence of a large number of burial sites, the district is a treasure trove of antiquities, monuments, epigraphs and archeological sites. The district teems with vestiges of the oldest habitations of man and some of the lithic records known in the south. It finds mention in Sangam Tamil literature with names such as Oliyamangalam (Thirumayam Taluk), Ollaiyur in Purananuru, Ambukkovil or Alumbil in Agananuru; Avur the home of the poets Avurkilar, Avur Mulamkilar; Erichi or Erichalur and several villages with Chola suffixes like Killi, Sembiam, Valavan etc.

From Coins to Currency

Numismatically, the district is a repository to the flourishing prosperity of the maritime trade of the Tamils as borne by the finds at Karukkakurichi, which had more than 500 Imperial Roman Gold and Silver Coins, the largest ever recorded from a single hoard. It contained the coins issued by the Roman

emperors and their queens, successively from

Augustus (BC 29 - AD 14) upto Vaspasianus (69-79 AD). Korkai, Kilakkarai and Alagankulam on the eastern sea coast bolstered trade. Its close proximity to the old ports of Mimisal and Saliyur and Tondi, further south helped it make a mark as an important Indo-Roman trading centre, through which the inland trade route ran between the western and eastern ports. It needs mention that of all the 96 princelystates under the British dominion, Pudukottai was the only state which was allowed to have a currency of its own. An eclectic Mix

The Pandyas, Cholas, Pallavas, Haysalas, Vijaynagar and Madurai Nayaks ruled over this part of the country and fostered its communual organisations, trade and industries and embellished it with temples and monuments of outstanding merit. In fact, the history of Pudukkottai is an encapsulated version of the history of South India.

Epigraphy

The presence of inscription of the rulers of Pandya dynasty in Kudumianmalai, Thirugokarnam and Sittannavasal testify that the Pandya land's northern frontier was river Vellar separating the terrains of the Cholas and Pandyas. This dividing line formed the Konadu and Kanadu, on the north and south respectively. Soon, the district became the bone of contention between the Pandyas and Pallavas who carried on the wars by proxy through their subordinate chiefs - the Mutharayars and Velirs. Among the Velirs the most well known are the Irukkuvels of Kodumbalur.

The First Millennium

The earliest records of the district dates from 490 AD. The period of three centuries between C 600 and C 900 AD relates to the reign of the Pallavas of Kanchi and Pandyas of Madurai who ruled over the entire Tamil Nadu with their boundary in between their empires oscillating on either side of river Kaveri. The tract north and south of river Vellar were in the hands of the Mutharayar chieftains who were defeated by Vijayalaya Chola. Thus, their rivals, the Irukkuvelirs became the firm allies of the Cholas.

Later Pallavas from the time of Nandhivarman-II (730-796 AD) wrest the territory from the Pandyas and annexe the tract south of Kaveri, reaching a little south beyond Vellar, thus comprising the northern half of Pudukkottai district. This period is thus punctuated by rock cut cave temples of the Pandyas and Mutharaiyars. The best known is the inscription at Sittannavasal in the reign of Srimara Srivallaba (851-862 AD) and at Kudumianmalai in the reign of Kochadayan Ranadheeran or Sadayan Maran (C 700-730 AD). During the time of Maravarman Rajasimha-I (C 730-760 AD) a number. of battles were faught against the Pallavas, one of the sites was Kodumbalur. The earliest reference of the historical events in the district find place in the Pandya records of Velvikudi and Sinnamanur plates which say that Maravarman Rajasimha defeated Nadhivarman Pallava Malla at Kodumbalur. The inscriptions of his successors are found in Kunnandarkoil, Malayadipatti and Rasalipatti. The inscription of the reign of Nedunchadayan, (C 768-816 AD) the greatest king of the dynasty is found in Thirugokarnam and Nirpalani.

Religious History

This was the age of Tamil Bhakthi Movement. The Thevaram lists several temples in the district. The three Nayanmars from this district were, Idangalinayanar of Kodumbalur, Perumizhalai Kurumbanayanar associated with Devarmalai and Kulachirai Nayanar of Manamelgudi. Jainism had flourished in Pudukkottai area up to 11th century as seen by a large number of Jaina vestiges in the district. Buddha idols are also found in Kottaipattinam and Karur.

Administrational Acumen

The rule of Rajaraja-I is revealed through the inscriptions detailing how effectively local administration functioned in this part of Chola Kingdom. The entire district formed part of the Chola kingdom until the last year of Kulothunga-III (1178-1218 AD). Post the death of Rajaraja-II and the succession of Rajadhiraja-II, the Chola power started nosediving. Towards the end of the reign of Raja Raja-II, Kulasekara one of the two contenders for Pandya throne appealed to the Cholas for help. His rival Parakrama sought the support of the Srilanka king and the outcome became disastrous for the Cholas. According to Culavamsa, the Sinhalese chronicle, their army engaged itself in the war in the parts of the district and burnt down the three storied palace at Ponnamaravathi.

Historical Inscriptions

As per the inscription of Virapandya in Kudumianmalai, the Pandya power was at its height in the district under Jatavarman Sundra Pandya-I and Jatavaraman vira Pandya-I, the joint rulers. During the reign of Maravarman Kulasekara-I who acceded in 1268 A.D, Marco polo the Venetian traveler visited Pandya country. Around the fag end of Kulasekara's reign, the brothers Jatavarman Virapandya-II and Jatavarman Sundara Pandya-II, quarreled. Malikafur the general of Alaudeen Khilji, the Sultan of Delhi took advantage of this and invaded Pandya country. This led to the establishment of a Sultanate at Madurai. There are two inscriptions relating to the period of the Sultans of Madurai in the district, one at Rangiam (1332 AD) and another at Panaiyur (1344 A.D).

A mélange of rulers

The brief spell of Muslim rule by the Sultanate of Madurai lasted for about 75 years. Minor princes ruled small territories and around 1371 AD. Kumarakampana, the Vijayanagar prince took over Madurai and the Sultanate came to an end.

The Vijayanagar Rajas centered in Hampi took over Madurai and the whole of South India during the 13th Century. The inscriptions in the district refer to many local chiefs such as Suraikudi,Perambur, Sendavanmangalam, Vanadaraiyar, Gangaiaraiyar and Thondaimans of Aranthangi. During the brief Tuluva rule (1485-1505 A.D) Narasimha Raya the first Tuluva emperor, during a tour of his dominions passed through

Pudukkottai country on his way to Madurai. Vira Narasimha Nayak, the Tuluva usurper and the general of Saluva Narasimha-I, led a campaign against the Pandya chiefs and marched through Pudukkottai. A great Personality of the Tuluva dynasty (1505-1570 A.D) was Krishna Deveraya (1509-1529 A.D). He had visited Brihadambal Gokarnesa temple at Thirugokarnam on his way to Rameswaram and gifted many valuable presents to the temple.

Sri Brahathambal Gokarnesha Temple

The provincial viceroys of the Vijayanagar empire, the Nayaks of Madurai and Thanjavur asserted independence after the downfall of the empire. The Pudukkottai area thus came under the Nayaks of Madurai nominally and under the Thanjavur Nayaks frequently. Around the end of 17th Century, the Thondaimans of Pudukkottai rose to power with full sovereignty till its amalgamation with the rest of India after Indian Independence in 1947. The period before saw Pudokottai being mired in feudal wars which are detailed below.

British Intervention

The famous war of succession to the office of Nawab of Carnatic between Mohamad Ali and Chanda Sahib, became in due course a war of supremacy between the English and the French in South India which resulted in the Carnatic wars. The French supported the cause of Chanda Sahib while the English were on the side of Mohamed Ali. The war lasted for many years mainly around Tiruchirappalli. The Thondaiman was firmly on the side of the English while the rulers like Thanjavur Marathas wavered. At last the English emerged as the masters of this land. This firm help of the Thondaiman to the English was rewarded by the exemption of tribute by the victorious Nawab and later this was continued by the English.

Raja Rajagopala Thondaiman (1928 -1948) the last and ninth in the line of Thondaiman rulers, was selected by the British Government and crowned when he was six years old. The administration was taken care of by English administrators, with one Alexandar Totenham being singularly noteworthy.

Pudukkottai Palace

The important contribution of this period is the New Palace - which was built in 1930 in Indo - Saracenic Dravidian architecture. This beautiful granite structure now houses the District Collector's Office. After Indian independence in 1947, the Pudukkottai Princely State was amalgamated with Indian Union on 04/03/1948. The long history of the Thondaimans rule came to an end.

8. THIRUMAYAM FORT:

The Thirumayam Fort is a 40-acre wide fortress in the town of Thirumayam in Pudukkottai- Karaikudi Highway in Pudukkottai District. It was constructed by Vijaya Raghunatha Sethupathi, the Raja of Ramnad in 1687. Later the fort was handed over to his brother in law Raghunatha Raya Tondaiman. The fort originally said to have been a 'ring fort' with seven concentric walls has only four surviving now. The construction of the fort is of inferior quality as small blocks of stone were used along with bricks for the building of the fortification. The fort has three entrances; one on the north, another on the south and third on the east. To the Northwest is another pond and to the southeast another tank. There are six more cannons mounted in the north, south and east gates. The fortress is of great historical significance and was an important stronghold of rebel chieftains in the Polygar Wars. Oomathurai, the brother of Panchalamkurichi chieftain Kattabomman was captured in this fort. The Fort is locally known as Oomayan Kottai.

2. CLIMATE AND RAINFALL

‘’ tpRk;gpd; JsptPopd; my;yhy;kw; whq;Nf gRk;Gy; jiyfhz;G mwpJ.” (Fws; 2 : 16)

“ If from the clouds no drops of rain are shed, Tis rare to see green herb lift up its head.”

Climate plays an important role in determining the agricultural, industrial and economic growth of any region. Climate includes the parameters like temperature, rainfall, pressure, wind, humidity, precipitation etc.. Temperature and rainfall are the most important aspects which directly affect the climate condition of any region. There is a slow and steady increase in the temperature which has a direct impact on rainfall. Due to industrialization, urbanization, deforestation and depletion of ozone, there is a constant increase in temperature which has lead to global warming. This has a direct impact on the melting of snow, increase in mean sea-level access of rainfall / deficit of rainfall, increase and temperature etc.. Rainfall measured through the use of rainguages. Rainfall amounts are estimated actively by weather radar and positively by weather satellites.

TEMPERATURE

Temperature is an important parameter in determining the climatic condition of any region. The climatic condition determines the agricultural pattern, life style of people and the socio economic conditions of any region.

RED LOAM :

These soils usually contain greater amounts of nutrients and humus than their sandy ‘relatives’. They also offer better drainage and infiltration of water and air than silty soils, and are easier to till than clay soils.

This soil type is considered ideal for agricultural purposes on account of its ability to retain nutrients well. It also retains water while still allowing excess water to drain away. There are a variety of such soils, each with slightly different characteristics, with some being more efficient at draining liquids than others.

This soil can be used for the construction of homes, where a layer of it can be built on the inside of walls. This helps regulate air humidity. This soil, combined with straw, can also be used as a rough construction material to build walls. This is one of the oldest technologies for house construction in the world!

BLACK SOIL:

Black soils are derivatives of trap lava and are spread mostly across regions where there is both moderate rainfall and underlying basaltic rock. Because of their high clay content, black soils develop wide cracks during the dry season, but their iron-rich granular structure makes them resistant to wind and water erosion. They are poor in humus yet highly moisture-retentive, thus responding well to irrigation.

SANDY COASTAL ALLUVIAL SOIL :

These are light grey, pale yellow or brown sand , with gravelly sandy laom to clay loam in subsurface horizons and are acidic in reaction, low in CEC (cation exchange capacity) base saturation and water holding capacity and deficient of major nutrients. These soils are classified under order Entisols with sub-orders Aquents, Fluvents and Psamments.

RED SANDY SOIL:

The iron in red sandy soil prevents iron deficiency in plants. This is often offset by the soils acidity. On the down side, sandy soils require more frequent watering or the use of other methods to retain moisture. Adding organic matter and careful watering help overcome this issue.

In arid and semi-arid climatic conditions the timing and amount of rainfall are not adequate to meet the moisture requirement of crops. Therefore supplementary irrigation is essential to raise the crops necessary to meet the needs of food and fibre for the growing population. Scientific irrigation water management provides the best insurance against weather-induced fluctuations. This is the only way in which we can make our agriculture profitable and sustainable in the coming decades.

Irrigation is the artificial application of water to partially meet the crop evapo- transpiration requirements. It is essential for sustaining crop productivity in many parts of the country mainly because the rainfall is inadequate and unevenly distributed to meet crop-water demands. Irrigation water is costly and scarce input, and is becoming more difficult to increase the area under irrigation to meet demand for food, fodder and fibre of the growing human and livestock populations.
