situated in io° 54' N. and 79 12' E., n miles north-east of Tanjore 
city, with a station on the main line of the South Indian Railway. 
Population (1901), 9,454. It is one of the chief seats of weaving in the 
District. Silk cloths, carpets of cotton, wool, and silk, and mats made 
of rushes are largely manufactured, and block-printing of chintz is 
carried on to a small extent. There is a particular variety of cloth called 
kutti(?ii for which Ayyampettai is famous. The number of weavers is, 
however, very small now as compared with former days.
