Anthiyur taluk, Administrative taluk in Erode district, India
Anthiyur taluk is an administrative division in Erode district comprising four blocks: Anthiyur, Athani, Burgur, and Ammapet, forming a substantial area of governance. These blocks serve multiple villages and settlements connected through local roads and communication networks.
The taluk was established in 2012 through administrative restructuring of the Bhavani and Gobichettipalayam regions, marking a significant change in local governance organization. This reorganization created the four-block structure and improved administrative oversight for the area.
The weekly Monday market brings together farmers, traders, and residents from surrounding villages, serving as a central hub for commerce and daily interactions. This gathering reflects how the community conducts its local economy and maintains social bonds across the region.
The taluk is located about 30 kilometers from Erode and maintains regular bus connections through the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation to nearby towns and cities. These services make it convenient to reach and travel within the region for visitors and residents.
The annual horse fair during the Sri Gurunatha Swamy temple festival displays hundreds of horses and continues a tradition from the era of Tipu Sultan. This rare event attracts horse traders and visitors while preserving a historic trading and cultural tradition of the region.
