'''Nilakkottai''' (also spelled as '''Nilakottai''') is a town in the [[Dindigul district]] of the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Tamil Nadu]]. The town was established in 1958, as 1st Grade Town Panchayat. In 1970, it was changed to Selection Grade. The Town Panchayat has been under the municipal act since 1996. In 2004, it was called Special Village Panchayat, and in 2006, Selection Grade Town Panchayat.

==History==
[[Nilakottai]] ''palayam'' was one of 26 palayams in Dindigul province. Its founder, Kulappa Nayajar, came from Vijayanagaram in 1366 A.D. before the period of Vishwanatha Nayak. {{cn|date=July 2020}}

=== Kulappa Nayak ===
Nilakottai consists mainly of arable lands. As a reward for helping repel an invasion, Makkala Nayaka of the Kambala caste was rewarded by the emperor of Vijayanagar with the land west of Madura. In these lands, he built a mud fort Nilakkottai in 1366 A.D with permission from lord vishnu Devaraya Raya. Makkala ruled this fort for 12 years until he was succeeded by his son, Kulappa Nayaka. {{cn|date=July 2020}}

Both Kulappa Nayaka and Pandya King Chandra Sekara of Madura were deposed by a Chola Prince named Veera Sekara Chozha. Both defeated rulers appealed to Krishna Deva Raya for help and The Krishna Deva Raya sent Kotikam Nagama Nayakar to aid them. Nagama Nayakkar defeated the Chola ruler and took Madurai, but suddenly withdrew his allegiance and declined to help the Pandya king, usurping the throne. The Vijaya Nagar emperor demanded reprisal. Nayakkar's son, Vishwanaha, volunteered. He overthrew his father and handed him over to the emperor. As a reward for his loyalty, the emperor appointed Viswanha as the governor of Madurai. {{cn|date=July 2020}}

During Vishwanatha Nayakkar's rule, Tamil Nadu Kulappa Nayakkar aided him in numerous conflicts. When Pandiya assaulted Madurai country, Kulappa Nayakkar ended their revolt.

After Vishwanatha Nayakkar, Madurai was ruled by Krishappa Nayakkar (1554–1572).
