History
A long time ago, Nagarjuna and Vayudeva were tangled as to which of them was more important and superior than the other, so a battle was fought between them to determine their strength. When Nagarjuna hugged a mountain by the name of Mahameru and held on to it , Vayudeva reciprocated by blowing vigoruously, as a result of which the peak of Mahameru was blown away and fell at Poondurai ( Perundurai). This peak is known as Chennimalai (The head of hills).Approximately 3 miles from Chennimalai, on the banks of the river Noyyal, is a village named 'Kodunamal'. It was a prosperous, age-old trade city of its time known as Kodumanam, according to Sangam literature. This place is an important archaeological site under the supervision of The State Archaeological Department of Tamil Nadu. A survey proposes that once upon a time, this village used to be a humongous town that was ruled by a narrow minded monarch. The investigation on this subject is still continuing to expose more information.
