{kudam, 'pot,' and vdsal entrance'). — Town in the Nannilam taluk of Tanjore District, Madras, situated in to° 52' N. and 79° 29' E. Population (1901), 5,419. It is a -tahsildar's station. Silk cloths for women are woven here. Kudavasal and Kumbakonam are supposed to have a legendary connexion, both names being said to be derived from the Tamil word for a pot.
