Thiruchuli is a village about 15 kilometers to the east of Aruppukkottai, in Tamil Nadu, India. It is considered to be a very holy place, in large part because it is the birth place of Sri Ramana Maharishi, held by many to be the most revered Indian saint of the 20th century. The place also has a rich Saivite temple, one of the oldest ones in South India; the god in this temple is even worshipped by most of the popular 63 Saivites in Tamil Nadu. Thiruchuli is admired by persons who are pious, religious and who love seclusion for meditation and chants in the name of the divine. There is also a Sri Ramana Ashram on the banks of the river.
The NGO, ODAM, operates out of Thiruchuli and provides women self help groups, literacy classes and has established a research biodiesel center 7km outside of town.
