Dharmapuri district, Administrative district in Tamil Nadu, India
The district spans across 4,497 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including hills, forests, and agricultural lands between latitudes N 11 47' and 12 33'.
Originally known as Thagadur during the Sangam period, the region transformed into Dharmapuri district on October 2, 1965, after separation from Salem District.
