Tipu Sultan's Sathyamangalam connection
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->According to S.R.Krishnaswamy, a Tipu Sultan chronicler based here, and A.R.K.Arun, a palaeontologist, in one of the 100 pillars of the Venugoplaswamy Temple at Sathyamangalam are the images of the deity and Tipu Sultan.
"Tipu is depicted with a bare-chested tunic and holds a parrot on his right hand. His left hand folded at the waist is supported by a staff. The characteristic moustache and turban signify his identity. A local Muslim prays every morning in this temple. Religious harmony of Tipu's domain has not been found wanting here
