Sannidhi street 1920s.


      A different view of  Sannidhi Street  My lapore in early 20th  century with the name board of the  street seen on the  walls of the staircase leading to the Ther.  The  old tiled house on the  right side of 16 kaal mandapam is still surviving which is now a show room for  silk sarees of Kanchi. This house is more than 160 year old as evidenced by the  inscription I found in the  house dated saka era 1775 corresponding to 1853 AD mentioning about  endowmentsome made. For the first time  I found Murugan with his consorts in such type of inscriptions.
