==Religious Significance==<br />
In the [[Tamil culture|Tamil]] [[Srivaishnava]] tradition, Serangolam (aka, Serankulam, Serangulam) is one of five villages collectively known as [[Panchagramam]]. The other villages are Karappangadu, Nammankurichi, [[Peravurani|Peravoorani]] and [[Puliyakudi|Puliyakkudi]] (Idaikkadu).<br />
<br />
===Oral tradition about Panchagramam===<br />
Once upon a time, a group of Srivaishnavas from Kooram, Kidambi and Selperi (near Kanchipuram) set off on a pilgrimage. One nightfall, they stopped at the place now known as Karappangadu. That night, they had a dream in which the Lord directed them to an anthill (marked by a flying Garuda) in which they were to find a deity. The Lord directed the Srivaishnavas to build a temple and chant the Divya Prabhandam for HIM. Thus, the town of Karappangadu was formed. As days went by, the families from Karappangadu settled in the near-by areas. They got settled in Peraavoorani, Nammankurichi, Puliyakkudi, and Serangolam - these came to be called "The Panchagramams" (meaning: "The 5 villages") along with Karappangaadu.<br />
<br />
==Temple==<br />
