In 1780 AD the Governor General of British India, Warren Hasting, wrote about this resort town, Digha, calling it the "Brighton of the East", in one of his letters to his wife . Today, nearly 20 000 Pondicherry people live in France and nearly 10 000 french citizens live in the Territory of Pondicherry. The ruins of Alamparai Fort lie near Kadapakkam, a village 50 km from Mamallapuram on the land overlooking the sea. It was constructed by musilm rulers during 1746 AD by Nawab of Carnatic Dost.
The Alamparai Fort once had a 100-metre long dockyard stretching into the sea, from which zari cloth, salt, and ghee were exported. In around 1760, this fort was destroyed by the Britishers. This fort was also further destroyed by earthquake and tsunami. Alamparai fort is one of the major spot controlled by State Archaeological Department. Presently it is a picturesque and serene spot. On the east side of the fort is a marvelous view of the backwaters. The waters lap gently against the edges of the fort, and you can see the sea in the distance. The hypnotic blue of the sky and the sea are soothing. Local fishermen assist tourists in a pleasurable boating experience around the fort. The fort can be reached on driving down the East Coast Road, about 100 kilometers from Chennai, 50 kilometers from Pondicherry. |
