Gingee taluk, Administrative division in Viluppuram district, India.

The Gingee taluk extends across multiple villages and settlements, encompassing a population of 422,880 residents according to the 2011 census records.

The region gained prominence in the 16th century when it became the seat of Nayaka rulers under the Vijayanagar empire's administration.

Local communities throughout the taluk maintain traditional Tamil practices, conducting ceremonies at temples and celebrating regional festivals throughout the year.

The taluk operates through a structured administrative system with its headquarters in Gingee town, managing over 200 designated villages within its jurisdiction.

The taluk encompasses three interconnected hills - Krishnagiri, Chakkilidrug, and Rajagiri - forming a natural defense structure with ancient fortifications.
