Madras Inherited

Originally a village developed for weavers, Chintadripet played a vital role in the East India Company’s trade in cloth and thrived under the support and encouragement of the Britishers. Beyond that, Chintadripet was home to individuals and communities who have shaped the locality and its development.

Today, Chintadripet is popular for its fish market, its fascinating history lost in the past. The remnants of its bygone era can be found in the old houses, age-old markets, traditional businesses, educational and religious institutions, and its residents.

Come join us on this exploration and discover stories of vision, perseverance, legacy, tradition, and philanthropy.
