About Erode
Erode is one of the towns of Tamil Nadu, which is flanked by the Cauvery River. The town is
located in the northern region of Tamil Nadu, as a headquarters of Erode District, which is
spread over an area of 8,162 square kilometres.
The word Erode originated from Tamil Eru Odai, meaning two streams. Two water courses
namely, Perumpallam in Surampatti and Kalingarayan Canal in Brahmana Periya Agraharam
and Kasipalayam exist in the neighbouring villages. However, there are no streams in the
original township.
The destination was part of the ancient Kongu country known as Kongu Nadu, dating back to
the Sangam period. The area was occupied by tribes, most popular among them being the
Kosars. Their headquarters was at Kosamputhur which is believed to have become
Coimbatore.
The Rashtrakutas overpowered these tribes but the region fell into the hands of the Cholas.
With their decline, the Chalukyas took over Kongunadu and were later overpowered by the
Pandyas of Madurai and Hoysalas. However, the town also witnessed the invasions of the
Marathas, Mysore and British.
The township possesses vast reserves of quartz, feldspar, black granite, colour granite, rough
stone and sand. Besides, due to distinct soil properties, rice and crops like millets, cereals,
pulses, sugarcane, groundnut and cotton are cultivated in the adjacent areas. Owing to this, the
town has become a beehive of commercial activities.
Erode is called the Textile City, Turmeric City or Loom City of India, as it is the foremost centre
Page 1/7

of turmeric trade. Furthermore, this town is a chief marketing core of handloom, power looms
and readymade garments.
The town of Erode is connected with all the chief cities of southern India and can be easily
approached by air, rail or road. The closest airbase to Erode is Coimbatore, 85 kilometres from
the main city of Erode. Besides, the town connects with an extensive network of Indian Railways
to all the regions of the country.
The climatic conditions of the region remain hot throughout the year, with the summer season
spanning from February to July. During this season, the temperature ranges between 30
Celsius and 40 Celsius. The ideal time for visiting Erode is during October to March, when the
weather remains cool with light spells of rainfall.
