Backed by the typical succession of pillar-lined courtyards, the impressive reception hall of this 'twin house' is shared by two branches of the same family. Don't miss the fabulous views over neighbouring mansions from the rooftop terrace. On the same street, VVRM House is one of Chettinadu's oldest mansions, built in 1870 with distinctive egg-plaster walls, teak columns and intricate wood carvings; a ₹100 group 'donation' is expected. Kanadukathan is 9km south of Thirumayam.
