Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PUDUKKOTTAI , a state of southern India, in subordination to
Madras
 , lying between the British districts of Tanjore and
Madura
 . Area, 11oo sq. m. Pop. (1901), 380,440, showing an increase of 2% in the decade. The state consists mainly of an undulating plain, nowhere of
great
  fertility and in many parts barren; it is interspersed with rocky hills, especially in the
south
 -west. Granite and laterite are quarried, red ochre is worked, and silk and
cotton
  fabrics, bell-metal vessels and perfumes are among the principal manufactures. There is also some export trade in groundnuts and tanning bark. The
chief
 , whose title is tondaman, is of the Kallan or robber caste. His ancestors received a grant of territory for loyal services to the British during the wars in the Carnatic at the end of the ,8th century. Estimated
gross
  revenue, 8o,000; no
tribute
 . The state has for some years past been well administered under a council, with a representative assembly. The town of Pudukkottai had a population in 1901 of 20,347. It is well laid out, and contains several fine new buildings.
