Krishnagiri, Administrative center in Tamil Nadu, India
Krishnagiri is a town in southern India's Tamil Nadu state, located 250 kilometers from Chennai and 90 kilometers from Bengaluru. Black granite hills surround the area and define its distinctive landscape.
The region saw human settlement in prehistoric times, with evidence from Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Mesolithic periods. Rock paintings and carvings suggest connections to the Indus Valley civilization.
The town speaks multiple languages daily: Tamil dominates, but Telugu and Kannada are widely heard due to borders with neighboring states. This mix shapes how people interact in markets and public spaces.
The town connects well to larger cities across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh through major highways. Its central position makes it a useful transit point for travelers moving through the region.
The area is known for producing large quantities of mangoes, including popular varieties like Thothapuri and Alphonso. This harvest supports numerous processing plants and provides work for agricultural communities.
