After few hours, I got down at
Chennai.headded to the clock room.i had deposited my luggage at the clock
room.went to t Nagar. Thyagaraya
Nagar, popularly known by its abbreviated form T. Nagar, is a neighborhood
in the city of Chennai, India. T. Nagar was constructed between 1923 and
1925 by the Madras Presidency government of the raja of panagal as a part
of town planning activities initiated according to the Madras Town Planning Act
of 1920. The town was named after Justice Party leader sir p.theegaraya
chetty. The streets, parks, and localities in the new neighborhood were named
after important officials in the provincial government. The neighborhood
is considered the biggest shopping district in India by revenue.Though
conceived as a residential locality, it is now one of the
principal shopping districts of the city.
It is most famous for its
plethora of Saree and gold retailers like pothys,nalli silks, and
Saravana stores. The neighborhood is served by the mamblam railway station of
the Chennai suburban railway network. Panagal park is located at the
center of the neighborhood connecting Five vein-roads of the neighborhood:
North Usman Road, South Usman Road, G.N. Chetty Road, Thyagaraya Road and
Venkatanarayana Road. Unofficially, T. Nagar is the Commercial Capital of the
City pushing back parrys corner, the center of the city. pondy
bazaar serves as the Satellite commercial hub for T. Nagar located around
the Thyagaraya Road. T.Nagar
residents are an unusual mix of the traditional and the modern and this is reflected
in the way the neighbourhood has been growing. Several new eateries have come
up while at the same time, traditional restaurants are also packed. With the
city extending its bed-time more every year, the locality has acquired a
reputation of always being in the fast lane. The grand textile showrooms close
very late at night, and their hoarding boards constantly illuminate the roads.
Early in the morning, joggers and walkers take full advantage of the empty
roads, with the fresh air that's so hard to come by in this area at all other
times of the day. Panagal Park, Natesan Park, and Jeeva Park all have their
regular crowd and their walkers' associations are extremely active. T.Nagar is
also a place of musical intellects. A lot of sabhas are very active during the
December month.
Really liked Chennai very much.especially
the tnagar ,
where we could find all shopping complexes and hotels.i went to a cloth-shop
and took some clothes.I asked a person that what is the tnagar is
most famous for? Shopping and food he said.thank you I said.do you want me to
find the best hotel for you.he said.yes..how did you find that I said.i guessed
he said.go straight and turn first right .take 200m walk
, you will get the hotel he said. I thanked him again. after that, I
moved to a hotel called mandi biryani .where I ate a biryani which was yummy
and delicious….
