Thozhudur, (meaning "village of worship"), are twin towns decorated by Vellar River in Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, India.[citation needed]
Thozhudur is well served by government institutions like schools, post office, etc. Other private educational institutes like schools and colleges serve people. All major hotels, banks, shopping center, bus stands, marriage halls, a petrol/diesel/gas station are located on Ramanatham highway whereas Tholudur is popularly known for its traditional houses.[citation needed]
People often refer Ramanatham bus stand as Tholudur stop, however, Tholudur is 1 km away from this stop. This is due to British rule as during their time they referred to this place as Tholudur instead of Ramanatham. For locals - it's a twin town.
The main occupation of the people is agriculture. Rice, sugarcane, groundnut and other cereals are generally cultivated. Nature so loved this village that it gave a river, lake, green pastures and lovely people.
Cricket and badminton are the favorite sports and tournaments have been conducted for decades.
