Synopsis: Karur, a mineral-rich Tamil Nadu district, is renowned for textile exports and agriculture, enriched by the Amaravathi, Kaveri, and Noyyal rivers. Historically significant since the Sangam era, it faces challenges from recent US tariffs impacting textile trade and a tragic stampede at a TVK rally. Politically, Senthil Balaji’s influence ensures DMK dominance, shaping Karur’s prospects for the 2026 elections.

Karur district, located in the western region of Tamil Nadu, is world-famous for its home textile production.
