==== Nainamalai Temple ====

From Thirumalaipatty to the temple is the easiest way to reach the temple.

By ten miles north-east of Namakkal, contains a Vishnu temple on the top of the hill, which is said to have been built by Poligar Ramachandra Nayaka. The temple is dedicated to Varadaraja and is regarded with special veneration by the people in the District who visit it in large numbers on Saturdays in Purattasi (September–October). The hill is claimed to be the abode of the Sage Kanvar, the foster father of Sakuntala, the heroine of the well-known drama, "Sakuntala or the Lost Ring". But several villages in the ceded districts in the Andhra Pradesh claim the same honour.

Though the village is an uninhabited, the weekly shandy that meets on Wednesdays is one of the biggest in the district fetching an income of Rs.8,000 per year to the panchayat union. It attracts many people for the sale and purchase of many sheep and bulls besides the produce of the Kollimalais such as plantains, bamboos, cholam, cotton, cumbu, thinai, and coir goods. The shandy is held within the limits of Minnampalli village on the 24th mile from Salem on the National Highways to Namakkal. The hill which is claimed as the abode of Sage Kanvar, the foster father of Sakunthala, the mother of Bharatha, has a temple on the top dedicated to Varadaraja which attracts many pilgrims on the four Saturdays of the Tamil month Purattasai (September–October).
