Trichy

     One of the important city amongst the many in Tamil nadu. This city is located on the Bank of River Cauvery. The Transportation centre of Tamil nadu. Trichy is an important place for Tourism as it contains fine temples and important historical monuments. Dominantly important -Rockfort has given the name to it as” Rock city”.Not only, has rockfort added waitage to this place. Golden rock locomotive workshop, BHEL (Bharath heavy electrical limited), an ordinance factory (oft) and the National Institute of Technology (NIT) are some other things which are famous land marks.

Thiruchirappalli derived its name due to Jain associataion with this plae. Buddhism and Jainism thrived in Tamil Nadu before the renaissance of Hinduism in the form of the Bhakti cult which popularized Saivism and Vaishnavism and exterminated these anti-Hindu religions.  So, we find numerous Jain and Buddhist traces scattered in remote and unapproachable spots throughout Tamil Nadu. ‘Chira’ is actually the name of a Jain monk and once in this rock was his ‘palli’ (adobe). Therefore, it came to be known as Chirappalli and Thiru wass added to it as it is an adjective of reverence in the Tamil language.  Now nobody takes pain to pronounce its full name and reduced the beautiful name to ‘Trichy’ properly pronounced as ‘Trichy’ these popular shortening of place names is a peculiar character of the Tamils. There is a special rule in the Tamil grammar for shortening names like this it is called “Maruvu’.

When vijayanagar dynasty ended and mughals came to throne, this city was under their control for some years. But only during the rule of viswanatha nayaha a vijayanagar emperor in AD 1736, the rockfort temple and teppakulam were built.

After the end of Vijayanagar Empire mughals were ruling this place with the help of French English armies. The important mughl emperors was Chandra sahib mohammed ali. But, when British started establishing their powers in India, this city was also taken by them and was ruled for more than 150 years till Independence.
