Mangalapuram Clay Roofing Tile

Mangalore tiles (also Mangalorean tiles) are a type of tile native[1] to the city of Mangalore, India. The tiles were first introduced to India in 1860 by a German missionary.[1] Since that time, the industry has flourished in India with these red tiles, prepared from hard laterite clay, in great demand throughout the country. They are exported to Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and the Far East and even as far as East Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Australia[citation needed].[2] These were the only tiles recommended for government buildings in India under the British Raj.
