It is also called Kalvarpatti Kasipalayam or Rangamalai Kasipalayam.<br /> <br /> The entrance of Kasipalayam was dramatically altered with the construction of the [[National Highway 7 (India)|National Highway 7]] and elevated flyover.<br /> <br /> Most of the inhabitants belong to the Kongu Vella Gounder community. It is famous for the Mattaparai Karruppanasamy festival which falls on the third day of Pongal next to Mattu Pongal. On this day the entire village becomes a festive arena, much goat cutting (keda vettu) takes place, and relatives are invited to a feast. In the evening, dramas are performed on the open stage in the center of the village.<br /> <br /> Farming was once the village's sole occupation, but during the 1980s, some of the inhabitants got into financing thanks to friends from the nearby town of Pallapatti, and these people's offspring migrated away. After Dindigul was declared a drought-stricken district, many villagers left to seek work in the mills.<br /> <br /> The nearby Alagapuri Dam attracts tourism, and when the reservoir is full it offers fishing opportunities.
