Chidambaram taluk, Administrative subdivision in Cuddalore district, India
Chidambaram taluk extends across multiple villages and agricultural lands near the Bay of Bengal in Tamil Nadu, covering a territory of diverse landscapes and settlements.
The administrative region emerged from the ancient territory where Chola rulers established their capital in the 10th century, building temples and civic structures.
Regular festivals throughout the year bring together residents from 236,170 males and 233,246 females in celebrations that maintain Tamil Nadu traditions.
The administrative unit operates under the Panchayati Raj system with a network of roads and railways connecting villages to the main town of Chidambaram.
The region contains mangrove forests of Tillai trees, which influenced the original name of the main settlement before it became known as Chidambaram.
