தக்களூர்  (Thakkalur)   Ruling Lord’s Name         :               Thirulokanathar Consort’s Name               :               Dharmasamvardhini   ‘Thiruppani’,  in Tamil,  திருப்பணி is to denote the Temple construction and establishment work.  The community, viz., Nagarathar, is so micro in size but well known for its yeoman services.   They hail from a Southern Tamilnadu, Sivaganga, Pudukkottai Districts.  They expanded their business empires all across the globe.   Out of their earnings, it is their tradition, custom and practice to allocate a portion of it to do religious and charity works.  Wherever they set their feet, keeping in mind the Tamil adage – never to stay in a place which has no Temple, கோவில் இல்லா ஊரில் குடியிருக்க வேண்டாம், they first establish a shrine.   One such Hindu Temple out of their many Temples is திருத்தக்களூர் Temple.  Thakkalur is the village where this temple is situated.  Thakkalur village is in Pondicherry Union Territory just about 2 kilo meters awa
