Watrap is a small village located in Virudhunagar District, Tamil Nadu, India.
The name Watrap is a corruption of "vatratha iruppu" meaning surplus water. This is a most beautifully constructed village with purpose. Though the ancient village had very clear caste based settlement as one can understand the street constructions, there had never been any caste fights. With the streets named after castes, it boasted a peaceful village. There is a perumal temple in the centre of the village. There is a shiva and hanuman temple at the periphery of the village.
The holy uphill shrine "Sundara Mahalingam temple" (also known as Thaani Paarai and Sathuragiri Malai) is located here. Aadi amavasai (No Moon Day in the month of Aadi) is when devotees from all over Tamil Nadu throng here. Agriculture is the primary livelihood. The main work is cultivation of paddies, coconut and cotton, with paddy cultivation being the most important. There are three government-aided schools and two private schools in the town. The Scientist Sir.K.S.Krishnan was born in this village; he was the assistant to Sir. C.V. Raman
