    hi i am vijay living in nagapattinam at muthu mariyaman koil st நாகப்பட்டினம்Ptolemy calls Nagapattinam as Nikam and mentions it as one of the most important trade centres of ancient Tamil Nadu. Nagapattinam was a Buddhist centre from 8th century CE. In 11th century CE, Chudamani Vihara, a Buddhist vihara was built by Javanese king Sri Vijaya Soolamanivarman with the patronage of Raja Raja Chola.[1] Buddhism flourished until 15th century CE and the buildings of the vihara survived until 18th century. Nagapattinam was referred by early writers and the Portuguese as "the city of Coromandel" [2]. In 1657 the Dutch occupied the town, taking it from the Portuguese to become their chief possession in India. In 1676, when the Maratha prince Venkaji had established himself at Tanjore, the grant of Negapatam to the Dutch was confirmed. It was taken by the British in 1781, and from 1799 to 1845 it was the headquarters of Tanjore district. Nagapattinam was one of the regions severely affected by the tsunami which followed the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake for more details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagapattinam

    I am from Chennai & married in Manjakollai Village near Nagapattinam. I like Nagapattinam Beach very much. I like Nagai because it is a peaceful city. At present I am working in Dubai as H.R.Executive. During my holidays I prefer to stay in Nagai rather than staying in Chennai. Chennai is a Busy city and so, we cant find peace similar to Nagai.
