Mandapakkadu, locally known as Kaadukuttai, present in Chettipalayam suburbs of Coimbatore, is believed to be a burial ground for the royals who ruled that area during the reign of Pallavas. It is believed that the body is buried in pots along with coins that were used during that period as currency. It is allegedly believed by the local people that there is a treasure buried beneath the mound and few have reported about finding some ancient coins in the near by fields while ploughing the land for farming (Information received from the local people). Indian Government has recognized this place as an Cultural Heritage site and fenced it to avoid exploitation.
