Tuticorin, Pearl City, is a sea gate to Tamil Nadu. Also known as Thoothukudi. The word is a combination of 'thootu', which means 'dig' and 'kudi' means 'to drink'. The city had no rivers and springs were the only source of drinking water. So, the name! The history of Tuticorin dates back to the 6th century AD. One of the oldest ports in the world, it served as the main port of the Pandyan empire. It was later occupied by the Portuguese, followed by the Dutch and finally by the British. After independence, Tuticorin became one of the most important port cities in India. Its port witnessed great commercial expansion and managed to carry supplies for various neighbouring countries, such as Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and other coastal regions of India.
