Sri Vijaya Puram, Capital city in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India

The city extends along the eastern coast of South Andaman Island, with dense tropical forests meeting the waters of the Bay of Bengal.

The British East India Company established Port Blair as a penal settlement in 1789, naming it after Captain Archibald Blair who surveyed the area.

The Cellular Jail National Memorial contains artifacts and exhibits detailing the independence movement through photographs, documents, and personal items of freedom fighters.

Veer Savarkar International Airport connects Port Blair to major Indian cities, while ferries transport visitors to surrounding islands throughout the day.

North Bay Island near Port Blair contains an underwater glass-bottom boat service that reveals extensive coral formations and marine life.
