Fairs
Among the most important fairs in Tamil Nadu is the Pollachi fair,
which takes place on Thursdays. On these days, Pollachi puts on a crowded
appearance. It is an established market for the products of the
Annamalai hills, Palghat area and the Pollachi valley. The merchandise
sold includes paddy, garments, pulses, coconuts, groundnuts and all varieties
of oil, fruits, vegetables, hides and skins and poultry. Elephants captured
from nearby forests and also timber (for which those forests are famous)
are sold.
