The Story of Serangolam The People of Serangolam are closely linked with the villages of Karappangadu, Nammankurichi, Peraavurani and Perugavaazhnthaan. Once upon a time, 7 devoted Sri Vaishnavas from Kooram, Kidambi and Selperi set-off on a pilgrimage. On one nightfall, they stopped at the place now known as Karappangadu. That night, they had a dream - in which the Lord directed them to an anthill (marked by a flying Garuda) in which they were to find a deity. The Lord directed the Sri Vaishnavas to build a temple and chant the Divya Prabhandam for HIM. Thus, the town of Karappangadu was formed. As days went by, the families from Karappangadu settled in the near-by areas. They got settled in Peravurani, Nammankurichi, Perugavaazhnthaan, and Serangolam - came to be called "The Pancha Gramams" along with Karappangadu. So in Serangolam, there are people from Kooram, Kidambi and Selperi. Serangolam nicely unites the people of different origins. |
