A Review of Tiruvallikeni

Even though, it has become a regular weekly observation for me, I have been sharing with you diversified information on Tiruvallikeni in this travelog. Just thought, we would have some more indepth history review of Tiruvallikeni today.

Privileged History of Tiruvallikeni

Tiruvallikeni has been more popular since olden days and even to support casual visitors of Chennai. There are a lot of facts and a rich heritage that Tiruvallikeni (now called as Triplicane) claims and owns with pride. I was seeing an advertisement of Ratna Cafe in T. Nagar and something I was thinking regarding the various facts on Tiruvallikeni. And just thought, I would share the same with other readers as well.

1. The most important landmark of Triplicane is the holiness, godliness and divinity attached to it. For Hindus, it is the Sri Parthasarathy Swamy temple. For Islamic fraternity, it is the Big Mosque.
2. Additional tourist attractions are the world's second largest beach, Marina Beach.
3. There are also historic places in Tiruvallikeni which are the following: Royal residence of Prince of Arcot — Amir Mahal.
4. Educationally, Triplicane hosts the University of Madras, which is by far the best and most popular university in the world.
5. Guest Mansions: With a lot of floating population around in the City, Tiruvallikeni provides a best hospitality for them by arranging for a lot of boarding houses and mansions in a more economical fashion.
6. Established and Famous Eateries: Don't worry. I am not going to advertise on the more exhorbitant Taj group hotels to burden your credit card. There are eatouts and restaurants like Gopalakrishna Bhavan (now under the management of Krishna Bhavan), Ratna Cafe which has been in the neighborhood for years. Ratna Cafe has been synonymous to Tiruvallikeni and is called 'Triplicane Ratna Cafe' and with this name, they are now opened an outlet in Velacherry Bypass road.
