Vairavanpatti is a village located on the way from Madurai and Karaikudi in Sivaganga district of Tamil Nadu, India.[1] This village derives its name from the temple dedicated to Lord Kala Bhairav who is known in Tamil language as Vairavan. It is 2 km from the Pillayarpatti village which is another famous pilgrimage center. It is one of the 9 temples held in high esteem by the Nagarathar Chettiar community of Tamil Nadu.[2] The presiding deity here is Lord Valaroli Nathar and his consort Vadivudai Ammai. Bhairavar here is prominent, hence the name Vairavan-patti in Tamil.[3] [4]
It is reachable from Karaikudi old bus stand. All the local buses connecting Tirupattur and Ponnamaravati are stopping in Vairavanpatti.
The village is in the R. Palakurichi panchayat.[5]
