Ayakudi is a panchayat town in Dindigul district in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The city is known for guava. It is filled with nature in the slopes of Kodaikanal.

==Etymology== Ayakudi originally means Ayar (shepherd) kudi (dwelling place), which aligns itself with the settlement of pastoralists in the "Mullai" land of the Sangam landscape. Ayar are also called as konar..
