Triplicane Thinnai Veedu !!

Posted on the 16 March 2025 by Sampathkumar Sampath

Many houses in Triplicane have history behind them – pictured here is an iconic old building – 19 Peyalwar koil street, adjacent to Sri Parthasarathi swami thirukkovil.

The house had an elaborate mound (raised platform /திண்ணை) where Cricket debates would take place.  The house had close to 15 tenants or so and all lived harmoniously.

Triplicane Thinnai veedu !!

This beautiful pic was taken by Mr Ramesh Raja back in 2014 and a couple of years later, it was unceremoniously brought down, demolished overnight  by Temple authorities, later converted to Yatri nivas.

Sri Ananthachariyar swami, who took care of Emperuman’s vasthra kottadi is seen sitting – his grandson, Gopi is now doing kainkaryam including upkeep of Perumal vasthrams.
