Located between the Veera Chozhan and Cauvery rivers, Maruthuvakudi extends across 2.5 square kilometers at an elevation of 17 meters above sea level.

The Tamil Nadu Rice Research Institute, established in 1922 in Maruthuvakudi, has developed multiple rice varieties including Aduthurai 32 and Aduthurai 36.
