I read recently that in ancient days - Silk was woven in Kanchipuram and PATTUKKOTTAI - about 50 Kms east of Pudukkottai - about 30 Kms South East of Gandarvakottai. Pattukkottai got its name because of Silk industry! Today, there is no such activity to my knowledge. Whenever we read of Silk - immediately we think of SEENATHUP PATTU (Chinese Silk). In PS, Arumozhi & VT trying to sell silk - in disguise - to the princesses scene remains always green in our memory.
