The Chettinad houses are built on a rectangular, traversal plot
that stretches across two streets, with the front door opening into the
first street and the back into the second. Looking in from the main threshold,
your eye travels in a straight line across a series of inner courtyards,
each a diminishing rectangle of light, leading out to the back door
.
Chettinad Museum:
In Chettinad, don't miss the
house- converted to museum
next door to the Raja's palace. Among the Kitchen tools the best is the
traveling kit. No self-respecting Chettiar would eat out, so this elaborate
basket housed everything from masala dabbas and choppers to rice bins and
ladle sets. Then there are traditional jewelers and clothing, huge copper
water vats and grain bins...everyday items that trace the chettiar's way
of life. The labeling isn't too good and a guide comes in handy. So far,
entrance is free.
Athangudi:
Home of the famous Athangudi tiles, visit a factory and see how
these famous handmade terracotta tiles are patterned and sun-dried. They
say it's the local sand that's the secret behind the texture.
