Tiruppur

Tiruppur lies on the Noyyal River in the Kongu country of western Tamil Nadu. The river crosses the plain towards the Kaveri, and its waters have long supported a landscape of fields and irrigation tanks. Near the town, the Sukreeswarar temple preserves inscriptions of the Kongu Cholas, Kongu Pandyas and a later Mysore ruler. These records show successive patrons leaving their mark on a local shrine dedicated to Shiva.
