Alambakkam ( ஆலம்பாக்கம்) Alambakkam is an ancient and important place in the history, which is easily deduced from its ancient inscriptions. It evidently came into existence in the time of Dantivarman of the Pallava dynasty as it has been called Dantivarma mangalam and as the local deity was known after the same king. Later on it was named Madhurantaka chaturvedi mangalam by the Chola king Madhurantaka, while its suburb came to be called Gandaraditya chaturvedi mangalam after Gandaraditya chola. The local tanks and temples go back to times of Rajaraja I
