Pandarikulam is one of a number of villages that surrounded Vavuniya which have been annexed by the town as it expanded.[4] Pandarikulam is located 1 km (0.62 mi) away from the centre of Vavuniya.[5]


Etymology


The village was previously known as Karunkaliyadithoddam (Tamil: கருங்காலியடித்தோட்டம், romanized: Karuṅkāliyaṭittōṭṭam, lit. 'Ebony Garden') because of the Ebony trees in the area, the village is known to have been given to the citizens of "Pandaram" during the reign of the Vanni kings who used to build garlands and worship at Shaivaite temples. The historical texts of Vavuniya state that Pandarakulam was later renamed as "Pandarikulam" after the hero King Pandaravanniyan[6].[7][8]
