Veerapandiya Kattabomman, also known as Kattabommu, was an 18th-century Palayakarrar chieftain from Panchalankurichi in present-day Tamil Nadu, India. His full name was Veerapandiyan, and he is remembered for his role in opposing the British East India Company during the early stages of their colonial expansion in India.
Veerapandiya Kattabomman was born on 03 January 1760, and he died on 16 October 1799. His defiance against the British authorities and his eventual capture and execution have made him a symbol of resistance against colonial rule in Tamil Nadu.
