Why Kilakarai is being called as Kilakarai
Name kilakarai is self explanatory if you know Tamil language (தமிழ்).
In Early decades, people in and around Ramanathapuram had commodity to commodity exchange with srilankan people. They had their starting place at the east-end of the Ramanathapuram district, From there they would start moving to srilanka with their boats with goods.
On a fixed occasional day, people in and around Ramanathapuram area would go into the middle of the sea and at the same time certain people from srilanka would move towards the middle of the sea to interchange the available goods in their respective places. People in ramanathapuram area had defined a spot to start their boat sailing, As the spot is at the east-end, they started calling it as kilakku Karai. As the people started pronouncing the name for decades, the seperate words got overlapped and changed it as "kilakarai". This is how kilakarai crowned its name.
