Srivilliputhur – A famous city in Virudhunagar district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu is the place where palkova originated.
This is because Srivilliputhur is famous for the milk society – that has been producing large quantities of milk production.
The Srivilliputhur Milk Cooperative Society Ltd and other local dealers started the production of this dessert due to a flood of high-quality milk from 1977 right after the white revolution.
