Virapandianpatnam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virapandianpatnam(www.pattanam.com), a tiny village situated on the south west coast of India near Thiruchendur, Thoothukudi District, Tamil Nadu is also loveably called by the locals as 'Veeriampathy' and the people who live here were converted to Roman Catholicism by St. Francis Xavier a few hundred years ago. One more interesting thing about the location is, it's in between Thiruchendur, a thickly populated Hindu town and Kayalpattnam, a thickly populated Muslim town.
Though many of the village people are now into various other businesses and occupations, fishing and fish related business are the main source of income among the people who currently reside in this village. There are many young people all around the world working in IT companies and Non IT companies.
The nick name 'Tiny Vatican' suits very well to this village as people who live in this village are religious, peace loving and god fearing people. This village is a very good example in many ways for other growing villages in India.
