The Sungudi saree industry includes looming, weaving, dyeing and printing units.

Sungudi sarees from Chinnalapatti are exported to Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and South Africa.

Since saris are less common in many places, Chinnalapatti weavers expanded to make increasingly popular sungudi chudithars.

Notable festivals include kalla Alagar(சித்திரை திருவிழா), North street muthalamman, Bheedhi Devru Mokku (street worship of God in Kannada) and Sri Ramalinga Sowdeeswari Amman Festival.

They also celebrate Kamayasamy, the festival for “Cupid – the god of love” annually, a tradition held for the past 140 years.
