Viluppuram district, Administrative district in Tamil Nadu, India
The district spans across diverse geographical areas with the Bay of Bengal to the east and multiple neighboring districts surrounding its boundaries.
The territory emerged from South Arcot district in 1993, following centuries of control under Chola and Pallava dynasties before British administration.
Tamil remains the primary language of communication for 97 percent of the population, while Urdu and Telugu represent minority language groups.
The district contains nine administrative regions called taluks, including Gingee, Kandachipuram, Marakkanam, and Tindivanam, each managing local governance matters.
The 500-year-old Gingee Fort stands within the district borders, positioned along the national highway that connects Tiruchirappalli to Chennai.
