Abstract


SATHGUDH (Sath-seven, Gudh-hillocks with forts) the place after which one of the best varieties of South Indian oranges is named, is now a hamlet of Pernambut Village, in Gudiyattam Taluk, North Arcot District. The remains of the seven hill fortresses are still seen on the tops of hills surrounding the village, the village proper being situated in the centre of a valley. Sathgudh, now gene- rally known as Satghur, is on the Pernambut-Synagunta forest road, a mile from Pernambut and the nearest railway station Mailpatti, on the Madras-Bangalore line, is eight miles away from the place. Originally it was the head quarters of the taluk of the same name, but now it has been reduced to the position of a hamlet due to adverse circumstances which will be described in the course of this note.
