MullaiKulathur is a sleepy village on the road connecting Kalpakkam and the holy town of Thirukazhikundram.
It is very much possible that you would miss the village unless you are on the lookout for the only English board of the village announcing its name. Villages in Tamilnadu are surprisingly well maintained and Mullaikulathur was no different. The village extended on both sides of the main road. The entire village consists of about 1000 residents most of whom depend on agriculture for their livelihood.
If you come with the expectation of houses with thatched roofs with quaint old looks, you are bound to be disappointed.
MullaiKulathur has most of the essential facilities –a school upto the 8th standard, an Anganwadi nursery for smaller children and a nurse who looked after the emergency medical needs. The village temple is the meeting place for any village event. The only shops to be found here are two small multipurpose stores that sell some essential stuff. Of-course you will encounter a number of poultry –hens and goats and cows.
The residents are very friendly and helpful. The simplicity of the villagers is evident from their lifestyle. The village itself consists of two main roads, both sides of which are flanked by houses. Tamil is the only language spoke in the village, although you may want to try some English with the school children and the teachers.
So what can be different about the village, is it not just another Village? Each of the further posts highlights some unique features of Mullaikulathur and some powerful stories of extraordinary individuals. Read On to know more
