For kids: Photowalk – The Battle of Adyar – Aug. 28, 2016

August 8, 2016

Yocee (http://yocee.in) conducts its 8th annual Photowalk. Led by N. Ramaswamy, Chennai Daily Photo & Chennai Photowalk

The Battle of Adyar (also the Battle of Adyar River) took place on 29 October 1746. The battle involved 300 men of the French East India Company, which had recently captured nearby Madras from the British, and a much larger force of 10,000 men belonging to Anwaruddin Muhammed Khan, the Nawab of the Carnatic, who sought to take Madras from the French. In the battle, which took place near the banks of the Adyar River, the French decisively defeated the larger Carnatic force, demonstrating the effectiveness of well-trained European forces in combating poorly trained Indian troops. This happened at the Quibble Island.
The walk will cover the Creek, The Walk Bridge across the Creek, Pigeon growers, TP Scheme Road.

Starts at  6.30 a.m.
Meeting Point : In front of the Quibble Island Cemetery.

Photowalk: Walk by the Village Road, Nungambakkam – Aug. 14, 2016

August 8, 2016

In the not-so-distant past, Valluvarkottam High Road was called Village Road. For much of its length, it runs along the old village of Nungambakkam. Of that village, there is no trace until you come to a small Shiva temple with a large tank fronting it. Standing there, it is just about possible to imagine Nungambakkam’s rural past.
The walk will start at Valluvar Kottam and walk down Village road into the crowded, colourful and pretty ancient Nungambakkam Market. It will end at the corner of Village Road and Nungambakkam High Road.
