History of Alamparai Fort Alamparai Fort, located on the Coromandel Coast in Tamil Nadu, is a lesser-known yet historically significant 17th-century fort. Built during the Mughal era under the Nawabs of the Carnatic, the fort served as a thriving seaport and trading hub, exporting goods such as ghee, salt, and zari cloth to the Middle East and beyond.
