Azhagappapuram (Azhagai) is located about five miles northwest of Kanyakumari, the southern tip of India.  It falls under Agasteeswaram taluka of Tamil Nadu.
       With a white lotus-like St. Antonys church standing imposingly in the middle, Azhagai epitomizes pristine beauty, being surrounded by an enchanting landscape of lush green trees, dense coconut groves, picturesque rice fields and bunds holding bluish pure water.  Nature has endowed this town and its surrounding areas with all its fauna and flora. The gentle breeze blowing across this place has a waft of soothing and friendly fragrance.
        Azhagai is renowned for faith, righteousness, education, political and social awareness.   This town has created a string of priests and nuns who renounced frivolous comforts to serve God, the poor and destitute. 
       True to the saint-poet Thiruvalluvars dictum on peasantry, Azhagai habitats traditional and core profession has been agriculture. Everything else flows from it. more...>>
