The Distriikt ariyalur (Tamil: Ariyalur district ) is a district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The administrative center is the eponymous city of Ariyalur. The district had an area of 1,940 square kilometers and around 750,000 inhabitants at the 2011 census.
The Ariyalur district is located in the central inland Tamil Nadus. Neighboring cards are Cuddalore in the northeast, Thanjavur in the south, Tiruchirappalli in the west and perambalur in the northwest.
With an area of 1,940 square kilometers, the Ariyalur district is one of the smallest districts of Tamil Nadus. [2] The district area is completely flat. In the south, the Kollidam, the northernmost muzzle of the Kaveri river, marks the border of the district, in the north of the district the periodically water-bearing river Vellar flows.
There is a changing tropical climate in the Ariyalur district. The annual mean temperature in Ariyalur is 28.7 ° C, the annual average of the precipitation is 1,029 mm. Most rainfall falls during the northeast monks between October and December. There are also rains during the southwest monks in August and September. [3]
In the Middle Ages, the area of the district was part of the realm of the Chola, which resided in the Thanjavur around 60 kilometers away. In 1022/23, the Chola king Rajendra I founded the new capital Gangaikonda Cholapuram in the area of today’s Ariyalur district. Gangaikonda Cholapuram remained the capital of the Chola Empire for two centuries before it was conquered by the Pandyas in the 13th century. In the following centuries the area was under the rule of changing dynasties, most recently in the 18th century of the Muslim Nawabs of Arcot. When the British annexed their territory in 1801, Ariyalur also came to British-India.
Since the British colonial era, the area of today’s district has been part of the Tiruchirappalli district of the province of Madras. After Indian independence, the area came to Madras in 1956 (today Tamil Nadu). In 1995 the Tiruchirappalli district was divided into the three districts of Tiruchirappalli, Karur and Perambalur. The Ariyalur district emerged on January 1, 2001 from the eastern parts of the Perambalur district. After the AIADMK party in Tamil Nadu took over the government responsibility, Ariyalur was reunited with Perambalur a year later by regulation of April 19, 2002. Shortly after taking office, the newly elected Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M. Karunanidhi (DMK) announced that the Ariyalur district would be formed again. On November 23, 2007, Ariyalur’s district administration started. [2]
In the 2011 Indian census, the Ariyalur district had 754,894 inhabitants. Measured on the population, he was the third smallest district of Tamil Nadus. With 389 inhabitants per square kilometer, the population density was significantly below the mean of the state (555 inhabitants per square kilometer). The Ariyalur district is clearly rural: In 2011, only 11 percent of residents lived in cities. The degree of urbanization was the lowest of all districts Tamil Nadus and was less than a quarter of the state of the state (48 percent). 23 percent of the residents of the district were relatives of registered Lower Kasten ( Scheduled Castes ). The literacy rate was one of the lowest in the state of 71 percent in 2011 (the average Tamil Nadus was 80 percent). [2]
Among the inhabitants of the district, the Hindus provided a large majority after the 2011 census in 2011. 5 percent of the population committed themselves to Christianity. With a good 1 percent, the Muslims formed only a small minority. [4] The main language in the Ariyalur district is the Tamil as in all of Tamil Nadu. In the 2001 census, it was spoken by 99 percent of the residents of the district as a mother tongue. [5]
The Ariyalur district is relatively rich in mineral deposits. The limestone deposits are used by five large cement factories. However, agriculture still has the greatest economic importance: In the 2011 census, 76.18% of the residents of the district registered as working as a working were employed in the agricultural sector (29.82% as farmers and 46.36% as farm workers). [2] The main cultivation products were in 2018–19 (with cultivation area): cashew nuts (301.9 km²), rice (227.9 km²), corn (161.4 km²), cotton (93.3 km²), peanuts (91.0 km² ), Urd beans ( black gram , 70.1 km²) and sugar cane (45.4 km²). [6] The railway line leads from Chennai to Tiruchirappalli through the district.
The most important sight in the Ariyalur district is the former Chola capital Gangaikonda Cholapuram. The Brihadisvara Temple there has been one of three “big temples of the Chola dynasty” since 2004. The Vettakudi bird sanctuary is also of tourist interest.
The Ariyalur district was divided into four Taluks (subdistricts) in 2022: Andimadam, Ariyalur, Sendurai and Udayarpalayam. [7]
In the 2011 census there were two cities in the Ariyalur district with its own city administration ( Municipalities ) and two small cities managed according to the Panchayat system ( Town Panchayats ) (with population 2011). [2]
