Vellore (English spelling)
A commercial city in the northern tip of Tamil Nadu, southeastern India. Population 175,000 (1991). Located at the mouth of the Palar River, where it crosses the Javadi Hills in the Eastern Ghats and flows into the coastal plain, it occupies a strategic location on the transportation route connecting Madras with Bangalore on the Deccan Plateau. Sandalwood and tannery (bark for leather tanning) are collected from the mountains, and rice, groundnuts, sugarcane, and cotton are collected from the eastern plains. There is a 14th-century Vijayanagar Empire fort surrounded by a moat, and the Shiva temple inside is famous as a typical example of Dravidian architecture.
