About Uthiramerur
Uthiramerur is a paddy-and-temple seat in Kancheepuram district, world-famous for the 1,200-year-old Vaikuntha Perumal temple inscriptions that record one of the earliest documented village-council electoral systems. The Sundara Varadaraja Perumal and Subramanya temples sit within walking distance. The constituency takes in Walajabad, Magaral and surrounding villages, with sugarcane, paddy and dairy as the rural economy. The Pallikaranai-Chengalpattu industrial belt's edge spills in from the north.
The world's oldest written ballot
Read the kudavolai inscriptions on the mandapa wall of the Vaikuntha Perumal temple — the rules for choosing village representatives by drawing palm-leaf lots. Drive on to Sundara Varadaraja Perumal and the surrounding agraharam streets, then loop back via Walajabad for tiffin or a Kanchipuram silk-weaver visit.
