Krishnagiri, Administrative center in Tamil Nadu, India

Located at the base of Krishnadevaraya Hills, Krishnagiri lies 250 kilometers from Chennai and 90 kilometers from Bengaluru with black granite hillocks surrounding the city.

Archaeological discoveries indicate human presence during Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Mesolithic Ages, with rock paintings and carvings from the Indus Valley civilization in the region.

The region maintains multiple linguistic traditions, with Tamil as the primary language, followed by significant Telugu and Kannada speaking populations due to bordering states.

National highways connect Krishnagiri to major cities in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, making it a central transportation hub in southern India.

The district produces 300,000 tonnes of mangoes annually, including varieties like Thothapuri and Alphonso, supporting numerous processing facilities and agricultural employment.
