About this place
Karur is a sizable town in Central Tamil Nadu, set in countryside nourished by the Kaveri, Amaravati, and other rivers. It is best known for its hand-loom textile tradition — especially blankets and mosquito netting — and a string of revered temples that draw pilgrims year-round. The compact core makes it easy to get a feel for everyday Tamil life away from the larger tourist hubs.
