Nagapattinam district, Administrative district in Tamil Nadu, India
Nagapattinam district stretches along 187 kilometers of coastline on the Bay of Bengal, encompassing beaches, fishing villages, and agricultural lands.
The district emerged from the division of Thanjavur district in 1991, though its main city served as a significant Medieval Chola dynasty port during the 9th century.
The district maintains numerous Hindu temples dating from ancient periods, including the Kayarohanaswami Temple and Soundararajaperumal Temple, which display Tamil architectural traditions.
The district connects to major Tamil Nadu cities through national highways and railways, with Nagapattinam town functioning as the administrative center.
The region contains the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health in Velankanni, where both Hindu and Christian pilgrims gather throughout September.
