Chettinad Palace

Learn of Karaikudi's ancestral legacy

The Chettiars made their fortunes not only in India but also in Burma, Malaysia, Vietnam and Sri Lanka, yet their ancestral homes remain in Chettinad. Start exploring Chettinad town with its grand mansions with pillared hallways, marble floors, and other embellishments. The Chettinad Palace itself is inaccessible, but one can admire it from the outside. Follow this, with a visit to the Athangudi tile factory where you can watch the process that went into the making of the ornate tiled floors of the Chettinad mansions.
