Bachelor's Heaven - Triplicane/Chepauk, Chennai

Triplicane aka Thiruvallikeni(Thiru-valli-keni) and Chepauk of Chennai is famously dubbed as bachelor's heaven, all because of its host of mansion spread almost 70% of this area. Mansion in the sense here are not the pose big mansions which are being usually referred in western media, here its just a building with small rooms all up to the third or fourth floor which are typically shared by two, three or four people. This kind of jam-packed buildings which houses more people per sq.km makes this area unusually crowded.

Triplicane aka Thiruvallikeni(Thiru-valli-keni) and Chepauk of Chennai also houses lots of mess to cater to food needs of people who stay here far away from home. These mess are typical hotels made out of small houses which provides home-made taste foods at very reasonable prices. This mess's combining with the mansion's make up the most of this area and very attractive to new comers to Chennai since it gives head start of new den at new land in matter of minutes.

Here are the pictures I took in this area, and this is an even organized to celebrate some anniversary of the temple.

Though the event is nothing to-do with god, it draws big crowd thanks to the home away people who has no work other than roaming after their official work...
