Demand for a separate Palani district gains momentum

The Palani Assembly constituency in Dindigul district is home to both Palani and Kodaikanal, which are among the major tourism hotspots in the State.

Palani, the third of the six sacred abodes of Lord Murugan, attracts lakhs of devotees every year, particularly during the Thaipusam festival. Devotees also visit the hill temple in large numbers during the Panguni Uthiram.
