📜 Historical Context

Yelagiri, also spelled Elagiri, is a hill station in the Eastern Ghats. Historically, the region was inhabited by tribal communities, particularly the Malai Vellalar. During the British colonial period, Yelagiri gained prominence as a summer retreat, leading to the establishment of bungalows and plantations.

The entire Yelagiri area was once the private property of the Yelagiri Zamindar family and was taken over by the Government of India in the early 1950s after independence. The predominant religion in Yelagiri is Hinduism, and Tamil is the most widely spoken language.

The Yelagiri Summer Festival, organized by the Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Board, is a significant annual cultural event.
