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.
After the Carnatic war had occurred, French lost to the
British which is the way the British started practicing direct control over the
stronghold and after that the fortress got pulverized in 1760. Prior to the
war, the fort was administered by Nawab Doste Ali Khan in 1750, and for the
administrations gave by the French authority Duplex to Subedar Muzarfarzang,
the post was given over to them.
