High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sadras is a fortress town located on India's Coromandel Coast, 70 km south of Chennai in Tamil Nadu state. Sadras is the anglicized form of the ancient town of Chadhuranga Pattinam. Modern Sadras was established as a Dutch colony in the seventeenth century, and became a center for weaving superfine muslin cloth for export. The magnificent Sadras Fort, built for commercial purposes by the Dutch, is a vast compound enclosing a huge granary, stable and structures used to mount elephants (unfortunately only one of these structures survives). The fortress was raided by the British in 1818 and came under the control of the British East India Company.
