Geography & terrain

Nagore lies in the Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu, 5 km from Nagapattinam and 250 km from Chennai — the dargah town of the region, its Hazrat Meeran shrine, the kund and the unity traditions set on the Coromandel coast.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 16th-century Sufi tradition — the town of the Hazrat Meeran Sahib dargah and the Kanduri festival of the December days, with the town's modern role as the pilgrimage of the coast circuit and the home of the 20-km Chithirai festival and the unity flag of the faiths; the town's history of the Maratha and the Dutch eras and the shrines of the shared worship, gives Nagore its dargah character.
