Location Feasibility

Global Level

LOCATION Nagercoil ("Temple of the Nāgas", Nagaraja- Jain Temple) is a city and administrative headquarters of Kanyakumari District in Tamil Nadu, India. Situated close to the tip of the Indian peninsula, it lies on an undulating terrain between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. Nagercoil Corporation is the 12th biggest city of Tamil Nadu.

Nagercoil derives from the Tamil expression Nagaraja koyil, meaning "temple of Nagas” Known as the Granar y of Travancore, Nagercoil not only served as the food basket of Kerala, but was also one among the important spice-trading centers in the kingdom of Travancore from the 14th century onward, and maintained a trade network with Arab merchants from the pre-Islamic era. Various Tamil and Kerala kings fought over this rich agricultural land, which boasted six rivers.

Various historians cite that the land's climate and diverse, luxuriant vegetation had no comparison anywhere else in Tamil Nadu.
