This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Mudukulattur

Zamindari tahsil in the Ranmad subdivision and estate, Madura District, Madras. It is named after its head-quarters, where a deputy tahsildar and sub-magistrate is stationed. The popula- tion in 1901 was 146,255, compared with 135,182 in 1891. It contains two towns, Abiramam (population, 7,338) and Kamudi (6,854) ; and 399 villages. The tahsll possesses the same desolate and uninviting appearance as the rest of the Ramnad estate. It is largely black cotton soil, and during the rains, owing to the absence of roads, the country becomes nearly impassable.
