History
The Tharamangalam Kailasanathar Temple was built during the 16th century by Gatti Mudaliars, local chieftains who were feudatories of the Vijayanagara Empire. The Vijayanagara period was a golden age for art and architecture in South India, and this temple stands as a testament to that era. The Gatti Mudaliars were great patrons of art and culture, and they commissioned the construction of this magnificent temple. Over the centuries, the temple has undergone several renovations and expansions, but it has retained its original architectural style and grandeur. Today, it remains an important religious and cultural landmark in the Salem region, attracting devotees and tourists alike.
