History Of Dindigul

Dindigul district was carved out of the erstwhile Madurai District on 15.9.1985. The name of the district has been derived from the rock hill on which a fort is constructed, looks like Pillow ('Dhindu'), when viewed from one angle (from south east) and hence the City is known as Dindigul. This fort is at a height of 280 ft.

The geographical position of the district is in such a way that it is bound by Erode, Coimbatore, Karur and Trichy districts on the North, by Sivaganga and Tiruchi District on the East, by Madurai district on the South and by Theni and Coimbatore Districts and Kerala State on the West.

This district is privileged to have one of the Six Celebrated Hill Abodes of "Lord Muruga" at Palani Hills, where the famous Dhandayuthapani Temple is situated on the hilly rock at a height of about 450 mts. The district is also famous for the making of locks.

Some worth seeing places in the district are: Dindigul Fort, Thadikombu - Perumal Temple, Kodaikannal - A Hill Resort Dindigul - Kottai Mariammam Temple, Palani - A Temple City, Dindigul - Abirami amman Temple, Begambur Big Mosque, Dindigul - St.Joseph Church (100 years old), Sirumalai - Hill Resort, Nadupatti - Anjaneyar Temple.
