Madirimangalam is a beautiful village situated on the banks of river Kaveri. It is in Thanjavur district of Tamilnad and has an enchanting scenery of verdant paddy fields and extensive gardens. Well, is this alone sufficient to make a village famous? No, there must be some famous personalities hailing from the place or some big festivals and congregations to boot. Unfortunately, there are no big names to associate with the village but so what?
Is any body from Madirimangalam hearing?

I am from madirimangalam. The village is good and beautiful. Surrounded about very famous temples.
But the co-operation between the vilagers is lacking. I find the retd. folks also do not be a good example for the next generation. I find even the younger generation folks are also being spoiled by some old guys for taking some personnal revenge on some individual.
The celebration in the temples should be co-ordinated and done in a better way.
This will give a cordial atmosphere in the village.

Hello everyone !
This is Narayan. My father hails from Madirimangalam. Our ancestral house used to be two houses away from Vishwam kurukkal's house very long back. He still remembers many details of the village, though he is 90+ and is very eager to interact with anyone from the village. He is the only disciple of Madirimangalam Natesa Iyer ( of Thyagaraja film fame of 1930s ) and hence is the direct fourth generation disciple of Saint Thyagaraja himself without any mix-up. Later he was under tutelage of the great violinist Tiruvalangadu Sundaresa Iyer. Madirimangalam Ramachandran was much junior to my father and acquainted. The great musician GNB was a nephew of Natesa Iyer. Shri Amritam Iyer is well known to us. We are settled now in Hyderabad. Anyone may contact if interested.
How did this village get this name ? What would be the name in Samskritam for this village ?
I am Lakshminarayanan and my mail id is lakshmister@gmail.com
This blog was started by me originally but I have not seen many of the comments from our
madirimangalamites, since I lost touch with this blogspot. Today I happened to see this when
googled for Madirimangalam. I have started a whatsapp group under the name MADIRIMANGALAM MAHAJANANGAL in which several members have joined. I am willing to add all those who want
to join the group if you are having a whatsapp number. We can enlarge the whole show and benefitted. We can even organise a get-together some day.
Pse contact me in my gmail id.

My dad's village is Madirimangalam, near Kuttalam.My dad and my uncle studied in Board School, Kuttalam. We had a house in the Agraharam called Calcutta House. It is still there, but the house abd paddy fields have been usurped by the farmers who cheated us.So also our lawyer cheated us.But my family and I have renewed connections with the village for the past 5 years.We usually come there after a visit to Vaitheeswaran temple and also visit the village during Panguni Uthram. I am Swaminathan and now reside in Chennai.
Can you send your WhatsApp number. I will post some pictures which I have taken.
