About Anthiyur
Anthiyur (AC 105) is a general (unreserved) Erode-district seat that climbs from the Bhavani Sagar reservoir up into the Bargur hills, the eastern boundary of the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve.
The constituency holds one of the country's most important tiger landscapes — 1,408 sq km notified in 2013, with a tiger count that has grown from 25 in 2011 to 80 by 2018, contiguous with Mudumalai across the Moyar. Bargur cattle, mango orchards and small coffee patches define the hill economy.
The Bannari Amman temple and the Bhavani Sagar dam, completed in 1955, anchor the lower edge.
Anthiyur & Sathyamangalam tiger country
Anthiyur opens onto Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve — drive the Hasanur road through Bargur reserve forest for sloth-bear country and gaur sightings. Loop back via the 1955 Bhavani Sagar dam for the long causeway view, then stop at Bannari Amman temple before mango orchards close in. Carry permits for any forest entry.
