Shri Gurunatha Swamy

Sri Gurunatha Swamy temple is a Hindu temple located in Pudupalayam, Anthiyur, Erode, Tamil Nadu. Tradition holds that the template is 600 years old and may have been built by the Pandyas as there are two fish emblems sculpted in the temple. The temple houses Lord Gurunatha, Goddess Kamatchi Amman and Lord Vishnu.[1]

An annual festival is held during the Tamil month of Aadi.

Horse and Cattle Fair

The temple also has a horse fair where hundreds of horses of various breeds are exhibited along with other domesticated animals.[3][4]
