Where are Shevaroy Hills located?
Explanation
Shevaroy (Servarayan) Hills are part of the Eastern Ghats and are located in Salem District of the state of Tamil Nadu. Textual sources explicitly list the Shevaroy range among hill groups continuing in the southern Eastern Ghats of Tamil Nadu, and identify Yercaud (a hill station) as lying in the Shevaroy/Servarayan range in Salem District, confirming the hills’ Tamil Nadu location [2]. Yercaud’s identification as the principal town on the Shevaroy Hills and the association of the range with the Eastern Ghats and Salem District provide clear geographic corroboration for placing the Shevaroy Hills in Tamil Nadu [2].
