'''Kappukad/Kappukadu''' is an ancient village in southern [[Tamil Nadu]] in [[Kanyakumari District]] in Southern [[India]]. The village is also known as '''Kappiyankadu''' due to the belief that the ancient Tamil poet '''Tholkappiyar''', the disciple of [[Agasthya]], was born here on 1 May in the Tamil month of Chitirai on a pournami day in 865 BC.<br />
<br />
The area of Kappukad covers around 1 square kilometer and St. Antony's Church is located at the centre of the village. The area is densely populated and over 5000 families live in the village.<br />
<br />
The village is situated 2&nbsp;km away from the Nagercoil - Trivandrum National Highway (NH47) and 3&nbsp;km away from the continuation of East Coast Road connecting Kanyakumari and [[Kochi]]. The village is an important junction for traffic from both directions and for the proposed Express Highway from Trivandrum to Kanyakumari too.<br />
<br />
The village is surrounded by paddy fields and coconut trees. One side of the village is heightened with rocks and small hills and the river Thamiraparani is located on the other. The nearest railway station is Kuzhithurai (KZT) and the nearest town is [[Marthandam]], located 1 and 2&nbsp;km away respectively. <br />
<br />
The people here speaks a mix of both Tamil and Malayalam languages. This language resembles the Srilankan Tamil. This place belonged to Kerala around Independence but now is part of Tamil Nadu.<br />
