Erode is one of the cities of Tamil Nadu and is the headquarters of the Erode district. Erode is famous for its handloom and power loom industries. It is also called as the land of turmeric and the city of textiles.

Erode was the mutation of the Tamil name Eru Odai meaning two streams. There are two water streams Perumpallam in Surampatti and Kalingarayan Canal in Brahmana Periya Agraharam region flow through the district and thus it got its name.
