Ottapidaram (ஓட்டப்பிடாரம் in Tamil) is the biggest taluk in Tamil Nadu state, India. It is a small town in Tuticorin District. Ottapidaram continues to be a tourism centre, but has accessibility with many places from Tamil Nadu. One can reach Tirunelveli or Tuticorin easily from anywhere and Ottapidaram is very close to these two places (45 km from Tirunelveli and 22 km from Tuticorin). It is the birth Place of Freedom Fighter Maveeran Sundaralinga Kudumbanar,World first Human Suicide Bomber and the great freedom fighter V.O.Chidambaram pillai, fondly called as VOC. VOC is also called as "Kappalottiya Tamizhan" (கப்பலோட்டிய தமிழன் in Tamil) because he launched the first shipping company which operated ship between Tuticorin & Colombo against the British during the British regime in India.
