==Palayam Location==<br />

<br />
==Polygar==<br />
[[Polygar]] '''Vandayar Thevar''' belonged to the Pandaram subcaste of the [[Maravar]]. The polygar family was granted the lands by '''Raja Parakrama Pandya''' of Pandya Dynasty before the establishment of the Madurai state by Visvanatha Nayaka in the 16th century.<ref name="princelystatesofindia.com">[http://princelystatesofindia.com/Polegars/kollamkondan.html Princely State of India]</ref> It joined [[Puli Thevar]]'s coalition in 1754-1762. The polygar of Kollamkondan led a new insurrection in 1764, following [[Muhammed Yusuf Khan|Yusuf Khan]]'s execution for having betrayed the Nawab. Victories over the Anglo-Nawabi forces helped the revolt spread to other polygars.<br />
