This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Tiruchirappalli—1,022,518, Asia/Kolkata, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Tiruchirappalli is GeoNames ID 1254388. Its recorded administrative path is Tiruchirappalli → Tamil Nadu → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Tiruchirappalli occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2024-01-06; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1254388, the coordinate pair 10.8155 / 78.6965, country rank 54 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 12165956 at 106.053 km bind Tiruchirappalli to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Tiruchirappalli's reference point is 10.8155° north and 78.6965° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Tiruchirappalli's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Tiruchirappalli's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Tiruchirappalli's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Tiruchirappalli, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
