About Nagerkoil
Nagercoil ("Temple of the Nagas", Nagaraja Temple) is a city in the southernmost Indian district of Kanyakumari in Tamilnadu and a municipal corporation. It is the administrative headquarters of Kanyakumari District in Tamilnadu. The city, situated close to the tip of the Indian peninsula, lies in an undulating terrain between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea.
The present city of Nagercoil grew around Kottar, a mercantile town that dates back to the Sangam period.[4] Kottar is now a locality within the city limits. For 735 years it was a central part of the erstwhile Travancore kingdom and later Kerala State, till almost a decade after India's independence from Britain in 1947. In 1956, Kanyakumari District, along with the town, was merged with Tamil Nadu.
