HERITAGE WALK - DISCOVER THE ALLEYS OF ROYAPETTAH

TAKE A WALK THROUGH THE PAST. DISCOVER & EXPERIENCE THE RICH AND DIVERSE CULTURE OF THE HISTORIC ENCLAVE OF ROYAPETTAH.

The walk offers a fascinating experience to learn about the settlement history of the area which is deemed to have derived its name from the Raya’s of Vijayanagar and is said to have been formed by a confluence of history and urban planning.

Understand and imbibe the urban history and architecture  behind the first garden houses of Madras which may have belonged to the close-knit Anglo-Indian community that stayed in the area, the old Agraharam houses with ancient inscriptions, the Muslim style houses belonging to the Nawab of Arcot’s time with predominant Christian influences on them and houses belonging to the early 1920’s – 30’s built in the eclectic art deco style of architecture. Explore the areas of Anglo-Indian Culture and understand the interesting history behind this eclectic community.
