Walk along the Veteran Lines!
Pallavaram (originally Pallavapuram, [பல்லவபுரம்]) derives its name from Pallava dynasty settlement during the 7th century by Pallava king Mahendravarman. Pallavaram is considered to be one of the oldest inhabited places dating back to the Paleolithic Age.
Pallavaram has also an interesting history of Anglo-Indians, who settled in a vast area called Veteran Lines.
Was this neighbourhood created for World War II veterans? Or got its name from the company, European Artillery Veterans that operated from the area? Whatever be the origin of the name, the beautiful houses, their porticos, roofs, arched windows, sprawling gardens, the place reflects facets of British architecture.
Walk around and view some of the unique features of Veteran Lines, virtually.
Virtual Photowalk organised by https://yocee.in
N. Ramaswamy, who publishes a photo every day at https://chennaidailyphoto.com/ and is an avid photowalker, will lead the walk.

Aim: The Chennai Heritage Forum has been instrumental in engaging in dialogues that help open up new paths and understand different perspectives. This Madras Week, to celebrate something that is quintessentially Madras – cinema, a discussion on this subject is organised. Tamizh cinema has proven to be an experience that captures the essence of the time it was shot. It signifies the space, lifestyle, and manner in which the city functioned back then. These are things that are constantly ever-evolving, and through this session, we hope to explore and understand what cinema and the frames of cinema that capture the city mean and convey to all of us
Furthermore, the event aims to discuss the personal experiences each of us has had in these spaces that are often captured in the movies and the difference one can observe when looking at those spaces in movies.
Date: 20.08.2021
Time: 06:00 pm – 07:00 pm
Registration link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekXdVsZEFkyyZB-it0nSEmkWVDHPwT8u3auk3tK6c-V7IeSA/viewform
Age: The discussion is open to all.
Aim: The event aims at initiating a conversation on what people envision as the heritage of tomorrow; something that will be celebrated and, hopefully, even preserved by future generations. The goal is to interpret people’s perception of history and heritage, in order to generate viable solutions for its promotion and preservation. Furthermore, the entries shared can help identify various different kinds of heritage, some of which may have gone unnoticed, while fostering a better understanding and appreciation of the same.
How to join? Participants can choose to focus on tangible or intangible heritage. The submissions can be made in the form of images accompanied by a brief write-up of about 100 words. Participants must clearly identify and explain the chosen heritage, and what impact its preservation may have on future generations. Submissions can also include any personal connections or experiences that participants share with the chosen heritage.
Date: Entries can be submitted via email to mail@madrasinherited.in, between 18.08.2021 and 25.08.2021. Two winners will be selected and receive exciting hampers!
Age: The competition is open to all.
