Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Erode is a busy city in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. It is the main city of the Erode district. Around 500,000 people call this city home.

Erode is a very important place for trading a spice called turmeric. Turmeric comes not only from farms in Erode but also from other parts of Tamil Nadu and even nearby areas like Mysore in Karnataka State.

Erode is also famous for its textile products. These include items made on handlooms (by hand), powerlooms (by machines), and ready-made clothes. You can find many cotton sarees, bedspreads, carpets, lungies, printed fabrics, towels, and dhotis sold here in large amounts.

Kangeyam, a place near Erode, is well-known for its special bulls and oil mills. Kangeyam cows are not famous for making a lot of milk. However, there are many of them, which has helped the district become important in dairy farming.
