History

According to inscriptions in the Malligajuneswarar temple here, the village must have been as Thirumudavanpalli during the days of Kulothunga - I (11th century), named after Thirumudavan, probably a chieftain in whose honour the Palli was built. The name of this Palli may have been ascribed to the village in due course. Since 12th Century the village is said to have been called Pandithasolanllur, after Rajaraja II who was otherwise known as Rajapandithan, erudite as he was both in Tamil and Sanskrit. The name Pandithasolanallur in due course changed into Pandasozhanur. Now it is called Pandasozhanallur.[2]
