Etymology

According to folklore, this area was formerly thickly vegetated. Bordikarai (Dikkarika) river was planned to flow from the edge of a curve. The river was in the middle of the trees, which were stunted and reddish in colour. As a result, in the computation, the phrase ′′ Ranga+Suk ′′ (Red-corner) is referred to as ′′ Rangachakua ′′. Another possible reason for this naming can be a local breed of rice called Rangachakua.[citation needed]
