Alamparai Fort in Mahabalipuram



Alamparai Fort lies in the town of Kadappakkam which is at a separation of 50 km from Mamallapuram on the land which ignores the ocean. It was built amid the rule of the Mughals and had a 100-meter harbor which extended into the ocean. Salt, Ghee and zari material were sent out from the harbor. The post was controlled and also brought around both Mughals and in addition French in the seventeenth century. The fort got demolished because of the 2004 Indian Ocean tremor. 



Alamparai filled in as an ocean port in old circumstances. It was otherwise called Alamparva and Alampuravi. The post was built amid the run of the Mughals reaching out from 1736 CE to 1740 CE. It was first under the control of the Nawab of Arcot Doste Ali Khan. In any case, it was later given to the French.
