My town Namakkal

Namakkal is my native town which is situated in Tamilnadu, India.
 Spiritually it is famous for the Anjeneya  temple.
Lord Narasimha and Namagiri Thayar temple is also worth seeing. Namagiri Thayar and Narasimha swamy are very famous.  The temple is a ancient cave temple, in which Narasimha swamy is carved very beautifully in stone.
 
Industry wise it is famous for poultry and lorry building.


 Truck and lorry building started from 1956, is one of the most important industry in Namakkal.
 Historically Namakkal is famous for its fort .  The name Namakkal derived from the single rock in the center of the town.  Its historic value starts in the least  from 7th century. There is a fort on the top of the single rock which was built by Ramachandra Nayakar, who ruled Namakkal in the 16th century. Once it was captured by TippuSultan. He used this fort to escape from British rulers.
