Ghost Town
3/5
Meenakshipuram Ghost Village
Meenakshipuram is a desolate, abandoned hamlet located in the Thoothukudi (Tuticorin) district of Tamil Nadu. Once a thriving agrarian settlement under the Sekkarakkudi panchayat, severe chronic drought and complete groundwater depletion forced an almost total mass migration over recent decades. Today, with crumbling roofs, empty streets, and termite-eaten doorframes, Meenakshipuram is widely known as Tamil Nadu's premier ghost village, evoking an eerie atmosphere and local rumors of uncanny desertion.
