Location: Chittoor is located 154-km from Chennai on the southern part of Andhra Pradesh. The southern most district of Andhra Pradesh, Chittor, shares its borders with two states, Tamilnadu in the south and karnataka in the west. The district of Nellore, Cuddapah and Anantpur of Andhra Pradesh, fall in the north and a small tip of the Chittor district seeps into the Bay of bengal on the east. |
Description: Situated in the valley of the Poini River, Chittoor has gained importance because of its proximity to the revered Hindu temple of Tirupati. Chittoor is also a market for grain, sugarcane, and peanuts; its industries include oilseed and rice milling. The city is surrounded by mango and tamarind groves, and cattle are bred in the area. A district administrative centre, Chittoor was a British military post until 1884.
It is also very close to the two wild life sanctuaries of Andhra Pradesh viz, the Kaundinya SAnctuary and the Sri Venkateshwara Sanctuary. |
