Devakottai (Tamil:தேவகோட்டை) is a first-grade municipality in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Located in the Sivaganga district, the town is situated close to Karaikudi, near Rameswaram National Highway Road (NH-210). As of 2011, the town had a population of 51,865. ==History== The name "Devakottai" is derived from the Tamil word "Devi Kottai", meaning ''the fort of a Goddess''. Devakottai was an active town in the Indian Independence Movement. The municipal court of Devakottai was burned to the ground during the Quit India Movement. This leads to the town becoming one of the historical landmarks of Tamil Nadu with typical building structures and monuments. Devakottai is now under the Karaikudi constituency following the reformation of constituencies. However, for parliamentary elections, it comes under the Sivaganga constituency. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Devakottai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
