Good to see the description of Kasangadu on the web site. Thanks for your effort.

“Kasangadu name might come from the name of a tree (kasa) and the word for forest in the local language (gadu); kasa trees may once have been prevalent in this area.”

I believe the wealth (kasu) could be accumulated once the village people got settled and developed themselves to subsist.

Should this be a correct narrative of Kasangadu..?

Hi Rathinam,

What you have written is may be correct and for your reason we can find only one name that is Kallikadu.

But our grantfas & mas what they told is who setteled here first had a name Kasuvelan (velan is cast name). Our Local community people called cultivating land by Vayal/Kadu and some times vayalkadu (for ex. Valakattu Nary) .

so that the name may come from His name and his kadu Kasuvelan+Kadu = KasanKadu (kasangadu).

I thing you may know our surrounding village's name are Silambevelangadu(silambuvelen kadu), Mannangadu(manavan Kadu), Maravakkadu(maravan kadu).
