It is said he himself appeared and did the Janana for himself. He died in 1752 . The Nawab of Arcot Walajah built a dargah in 1789 over his burial site. A revered Sufi Saint.
Dera Venkataswamy (Naidu) Street, Triplicane. Found this street connecting Triplicane High Road and Big Street. He was a Dubash of Parry & Co and built the Luz House in Mylapore around 1850s. Must have had some properties in this street. He was also the grand father of criketing legend Buchi Babu under whose name a memorial tournament is held. In the 70s famous teams like Nirlons of Bombay and famous players like Abid Ali, Jaisimha, Abbas Ali Big, Gavaskar used to participate in the tournament on the Marina grounds. Now it has lost its sheen after advent of IPL. The Luz House has now been renovated with heritage consciousness and let out for small functions by the family. Saturday morning find.
