Pandarikulam emerges as a distinctive suburban enclave within the expanding precincts of Vavuniya, situated in the northern region of Sri Lanka. It is characterised by a unique allure that distinguishes it from the surrounding villages assimilated during the town's progressive expansion. The nomenclature "Pandarikulam" is reflected in both Tamil as பண்டாரிகுளம் (Paṇṭārikuḷam) and Sinhala as පණ්ඩාරිකුලම් (Paṇḍārikulam).
