This was constructed by King Kattaboman for his brother oomathurai. To assist in the construction of strong periphery to the fort, Lime mortar (named sandhu in Tamil) with egg albumen (white part of egg) was prepared and sent to Thirumayam. So the place that produced good construction materials i.e sandhu was called nar- sandhu-patti (good- mortar-village). Over a period time it has been changed in its pronunciation to Nachandupatti.

Venthanpatti

Here in Chockalingeswarar Temple, Nandhi is called Nei Nandheeswarar (Nandhi coated with ghee). The ghee offered by the devotees, is smeared on the statue of Nandhi daily. The ghee after abishegam, is collected and stored in a well of 6 feet depth called Neikkinaru (well of ghee) located in the easanya moolai of the temple. Neither single ant nor a fly could be seen. It is a wonder which speaks volumes of the grace of Lord Shiva.

It is believed from History that Marudhu Pandiya Raja won the battle at this place against other Kings. Therefore the name of the place. The greatness of this village is due to the presence of the great Vaishnavi Sree Annapoorani Amman Temple and the topmost Vaishnava's - Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi Temple. Alavakkottai chettiar families visit Sree Annapoorani temple being their Kula theivam as well.
Vetriyur had mud road to Devakkottai and in the recent years the Government has Moffusill buses running between various towns and Devakottai via VETRIYUR. This village is near to Kallal, Kaalayar Kovil and Natarajapuram.
Shanmugam Chettiar - Structural Engineer was the first family who came to United States in 1960 from Vetriyur.
