Aandiyur Uthangarai is a village in Uthangarai taluk, Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu, India.
In 1300 CE, Aandiyur was a forest inhabited only by Siddhars. Hence the place was called Siddha Madam, a name which over time evolved to become Aandi madam and eventually Aandiyur.
In the 2001 Indian census, Aandiyur had 1,979 inhabitants, 1,007 male and 972 female.[1] For the 2001 census Uthangarai taluk, and Aandiyur, were in Dharmapuri district, as Krishnagiri district was not formed until 2004.[2]
In the 2011 census, Aandiyur reported a decreased population of 1,403.[3]
