Anchetty is a Small town in the Anchetty taluk of the Krishnagiri district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The village is in the southern half of the taluk, and is the headquarters of one of its seven firkas.[1]
Anchetty, which is spread over 35.08km2 of land, is located to the north of a large collection of reserve forests that cover the southern end of the taluk. The village is at the intersection of three roads, one which runs west to Thaggatti and Hunasanahalli, one which runs north to Andevanapalli and Denkanikottai, and one that runs southeast to Hogenakkal and Pennagaram. During Tamil Nadu's wet season, the Toddahalla River, a minor tributary of the Cauvery River, flows south through the village.[1] [2] language official tamil, telugu, kannada
