Madras District Gazetteers. Trichinopoly

1907

The history of Trichinopoly is largely the history of the Ch6las and the Nayakkans and Chapter II has consequently indented freely upon the corresponding portions of the Gazetteers of Tanjore and Madura in which districts the chief capitals of those powers were respectively situated. [...] Only from the outer eastern edge of these hills or from some of the higher ridges in the interior can any view of the low country be obtained but owing to the diversified character of the upper surface of the range the scenery within it is often beautiful. [...] At the head of this ravine stands the famous Siva temple called Arappalisvaran-kOvil which is regarded with very great reverence not only by the hill men of this range but also by the Malaiyalis of the Pachaimalais and of the Kalrayan hills to the north of them (in Salem district) as well as by the Hindus of the plains. [...] The most important of its tributaries is the The Aiy6r unlike most of the smaller rivers in this district receives (from the slopes of the Pachaimalais) a considerable supply during the south-west monsoon. [...] The rainfall of the district is referred to in some detail in Chapter VIII and in Chapter IX is mentioned the effect of the climate on the general health of the people.
