WorldHistoric Trades Persist in Vellore's Bustling Market
Vellore's wholesale market, established in 1868 near the 16th-century Vellore Fort, remains lively with vendors selling vegetables, fruits, and essentials. Amid the busy lanes, traditional trades endure, including a watch repairman, gas lantern seller, harmonium repairman, and an old tailor. These traders represent generations maintaining their crafts alongside the evolving market, which once served as a stable for fort horses.
