History

Ancient and medieval periods

The name Anaimalai derives from the Tamil words āṉai (elephant) and malai (hill), reflecting the region's historical abundance of elephants and its mountainous terrain. In ancient times, Anaimalai was part of the Kongu Nadu region, one of the earliest territorial divisions of the Tamil homeland extending from the Vengadam hills to the southern tip of India. This area, encompassing the Western Ghats including the Anaimalai range, fell under the rule of the Chera dynasty during the Sangam period, prior to the 3rd century CE. The Cheras, known as one of the three crowned kings of ancient Tamilakam alongside the Cholas and Pandyas, exerted influence over Kongu Nadu through military campaigns, such as those led by King Peruncheral Irumporai, who subdued local chieftains. During the medieval period, following the decline of direct Chera control, local Velir chieftains like Nannan asserted authority over parts of Kongu Nadu, as referenced in Sangam literature such as Malaipatukatam. Nannan, depicted as a ruler of the Konga tribes associated with hill regions, governed territories that included forested uplands similar to Anaimalai.
