		The embryonic seed of the town, Tiruvannamalai, is at this focus point where the beginning and the end of the religious obligations meet at the temple which became the place of encounter and the reference point for pilgrims undertaking the giripradakshina.
		At the apogee of the Vijayanagar Empire, in the 16th Century Tiruvannamalai was a religious halt on the highway of the pilgrimage of the south, and, under the Moghuls, it played the role of a garrison-town for the armies, between the citadel of Vellore and the fortresses of Tiyadurga and Tiruchirapalli.
		Tiruvannamalai has also played a leading role in the military operations during the Mysore wars, because the kings of Sarangapatnam considered the Chengam pass to be the doorway to the Coromandel plain and they did their best to keep control over it.
