Mazhanadu is a region between Tondai Nadu and Karnataka which was called as Mazhavarnadu. This region falls under the great ancient dynasty called Chera Dynasty. It includes the Districts of Salem, Namakkal, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri. In ancient sangam age this region was ruled by Mazhavar King Kolli Mazhavan . Famous Sangam poetess Avvaiyar had cordial relation with the Mazhavar chieftains like Athiyamān Nedumān Añci of Thagadoor and Valvil Ori of Kollimalai .
