'''Thalaivankottai''' is traditionally recognized as one of the 72 Palaiyams of [[Madurai]]. This [[Maravar]] Palaiyam was located in the [[Sivagiri, Tirunelveli|Sivagiri]] [[Taluk]], at the foot of the [[Western Ghats]], in the [[Tirunelveli]] province of the Nayak Kingdom of Madurai.<ref name="princelystatesofindia.com">[http://princelystatesofindia.com/Polegars/thalaivankottai.html Princely State of India]</ref>

== Palayakkarar (Polygar) ==
Thalaivankottai's Polygar belonged to the '''Kondayam-Kottai''' subcaste of the [[Maravar]]. The Polygar family traced its origins to a court official of the latter [[Pandya]] Kings. Thailavankottai was one of the Palaiyams that joined [[Puli Thevar]]’s coalition in 1754–1762 ([[Nerkattumseval]]).

== Post-1799 ==
At the end of the [[Polygar Wars|First Polygar War]] in 1799, the [[Polygar]] of Thalaivankottai surrendered two forts and 100 armed men to Major J. Bannerman. At the time of the general settlement of 1802, [[Zamindar]] Sivanu Thevar held five villages. The Palaiyam survived into the 19th century as a [[List of zamindari estates in Madras Presidency|Zamindari]] consisting of eighteen villages and having an area of 6.14 square metres and a population (in 1879) of 3,117.<ref name="princelystatesofindia.com" /> The Polygars carry the same title Indhran with their names. The last titled Zamindar, Indhran Ramasamy Pandya Thalaivanar, (who belongs to the Kondayamkottai Subcaste of [[Maravars]]) married Sivabaghyanachiar, Sethupathy Princess of [[Ramnad]], (belonging to the royal Marika branch of Semmanadu Maravars) in 1944 and had five children — three sons and two daughters. The royal family of Thalaivankottai and their heirs administered all the temples in Thalaivankottai and its surroundings, most notably the Masthiasthanathar temple of [[Dharugapuram]].
