The island was named after a British General and consists of Ritchie’s Archipelago and five villages.
The Cellular Jail, also known as ‘Kala Pani,’ is an old colonial prison in Port Blair, the Andaman and Nicobar island capital.

Nowadays, it serves as a popular tourist attraction on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands where you can learn about its history and also appreciate a light show kept in the memory of all the prisoners incarcerated here.
