Tallakulam or Thallaakulam is located in Madurai district, in the State of Tamil Nadu in India. There is a 'rest mandapam' (mandagappadi in Tamil language) called 'Ramanathapuram Sethupathi Mandapam' at Tallakulam. During Chithirai festival in the months of April - May, Lord Kallazhagar from Alagar temple visits so many mandapams in and around Madurai on his way to and fro Madurai. This year (2022) also, Lord Kallazhagar began his return journey to Alagarkoil from Ramanathapuram Sethupathi Mandapam at Tallakulam, mounted on 'Poo Pallakku'[1] here at Tallakulam.[2] Most Maduraiites go to have fun at the Tamukkam ground and explore the annual Government Chithirai Exhibition.[3][4] As many as 90,361 people visited the 212th annual Government Chithirai Exhibition at Tamukkam ground.[5]
A mega book fair is to be organized by the Booksellers and Publishers Association of South India and the district administration between 23 September – 3 October 2022, at the Tamukkam Ground.[6]
