If this is a famous pilgrimage town, why is there nothing on pilgrimages to it? RJFJR 15:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Please refer to - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palani_Murugan_temple. Also, if you go into google images and type Palani, you could find images related to the Temple and pilgrims. Uma Manian (talk) 19:45, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Caste
Why caste based account is provided here? Can we provide a general details about the people living in Palani? Is this a place to show which community is majority over here in Palani? Or to show some supremacy of a caste at here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.242.84.10 (talk) Copied from article by &mdash;C45207 | Talk 09:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

This page has been updated to list the dominant religions in the area - Hinduism, Islam and Christianity. The reason why this article has so much about the Temples and Hindus is becuase of Palani being a famous place for Hindu pilgrims (primarily Tamils) and being mentioned in Hindu scriptures. This is quite common for places which are of religious importance to a specific religion.Uma Manian (talk) 19:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Demographics--> Caste Distribution

In Palani, all most all the castes have streets with their caste name, but I don't understand why the contributer specifically intrested in mentioning about the distribution of Bhramin caste and their living streets, if he/she wants to promote about his community there are other places in the web to do that.

I really don't agree with this Caste Distribution subsection, by providing this what the contributer is trying to achieve- Caste Supremacy?? What the wikipedia reader/ the international community tries to know about palani is going to get from this sub section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hakkimabdula (talk • contribs) 06:44, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

The 18th Century
//Herefrom, it is learnt that Palani was then under the rule of the poligars or palayakarars (literally, town-keepers) of Balasamudram[citation needed], who retained control of its brick-fort in return for a nominal tribute to the Sultaun's administrator and representative at Coimbatore.//

only one nayakar palayakarar in dindigal is "Gopala Nayaker" of virupachi, because of vanavarayars bought them from telugu country to fight with other clans of his caste ,who were defeted this vanavarayar clan and had sended them pollachi , vanavarayars got back the power with help of vijjayanar king and sended some soilders family with vanavarayar , to done back his revenge , he had defeated his enenmy clan and in virupachi he oppinted over some nayakar family over, native clans where fighted got back to power even under madurai nayak family.

vanavarayars where oppointed by vijayanagar empire to look back this area.

even during my clan during 18 th century had a army where recorded in dindigal where recorded by british, even our clan had provided army to british to bring down the tippu sultans rule and hyder rule over dindigul fort , even our clan army had recorded by british , palani and other dindigal distrist regions are under kongu 24 regions.

//who claim descent from what is modern-day Andhra Pradesh and who retain some vestiges of the Telugu tongue, in Balasamudram, it is more than probable that their forebears were given charge of the fort of that place by the kings of Madurai//

even under vijayanagara period or mudurai nayak period 99% of palayakarar of kongu region are from the gounder caste

please show me proof about the claims

other than cinnamalai these are the largest Pollachi (Puravipalayam) - The Gopanna Mandradiars were Palayakkarars and later became a Zamindari of Pollachi and Puravipalayam during the British rule.

Samuthur - The Vanavarayars of Samathur were Palayakkarars and later became a Zamindari of Samathur and Kottampatti during the British rule.

Uthukuli - The Kalingarayars of Uthukuli where Palayakkarars and later became a Zamindari of Uthukuli and Tirupur during the British rule. [2]

Kangeyam (Palaya Kottai or Palayamkottai) - The Sarkarai Mandradiars of Kangeyam were the traditional chieftains and Palayakkarars of the Kongu Nadu.

Konganapuram - Sri Rangasamy Gounder, Sri Sengotuvellappa Gounder and Sri Nachiappa Gounder - The descendants of Zamindari of Konganapuram.

Pokkampalayam - Dr.P. Subbarayan - The descendant of Zamindari of Kumaramangalam and Sri Rathanasabapathy Gounder - The descendant of the Zamindari of Pudupalayam

Tharamangalam - Gatti Mudalis(of gounder origin) of Salem and Dharmapuri

and many more other larger palayakarar too present of kongu region present all kongu region 24 heads where becamed larger palayakarar under vijayanagara and madurai naik time too, kongu nadu has largest number palayam in south india

even though kongu vellalar gounder or gounder numbers are less in Balasamudram, they where whealthy land lords and atleast each hold around 100 acres Porulur Poosan Kaviyarasu Gounder (talk) 18:32, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Saurashtra
//Saurashtra Another interesting fact is the existence of a Saurashtra Street in Palani. Since 'Saurashtra' is the term commonly used in Tamil to refer to the numerous people who emigrated to the South in the wake of the Mahratta rulers of Tanjore and Madurai, it seems to be likely that Palani came under the dominance of either the Serfojis of Tanjore or their counterparts of Madurai, in the period between the fall of the Nayaka Kings of Madurai and Hyder Ali's ascent to power in the 18th century.//

they migrated people into palani some other area of tamil nadu,for lively hood they are migrated, it is nothing special about them with palani history
