It is surrounded by the river Kollidam which flows through here in north, village of Veerakkan in the south, village of Koothanur to the east and village of Ayyanallur to the west.

It is situated 300 km from the state capital Chennai and 18 km from the nearest big town Kumbakonam. To approach this village you have alight at Thirupanandal or Senganoor on the Chennai-Kumbakonam state highway.
