Vellore is situated on the banks of Palar River on the site of Vellore Fort. The historical town in the state of Tamil Nadu, has the blend of rich heritage and culture representing the ancient Dravidian civilization.

The Vellore Mutiny of 1806 was one of the earliest upsurges against the British rule in India. In fact the Sepoy Mutiny of 1806 A.D. that broke out inside the Vellore fort against the British authority is considered to be a prelude to the Great Revolt of 1857, which is often described by some historians as the First War of Independence.
