Events 2019

Can you believe that there is a huge garden in the heart of the Chennai city where you can see fragrant jasmine flowers and fresh veggies being grown?
Come along, as the Chennai Photowalk team plans to visit this garden again and enjoy the greenery & freshness that is unseen / unheard of, within the city limits.

At the garden, you can spot jasmines, lady’s finger, chillies, brinjals, greens and many other cash crops. Do remember to carry a bag to finish your shopping! 😀

To top it, spot the flights taking off or landing in the background.

Walk Lead: Balaji (9962515330)

Points to be noted:
1) Please use google maps to locate the starting point, as the Walk Leader might not be able to help you in directions to a large extent in such a location.
2) Ask for the “entrance of the thottam” for directions, after you reach Anna Street or neighbourhood.
3) Carry some cloth bag with you, if there are any vegetables that you may want to buy that day from the farm directly if it is available.
4) Cars can’t go beyond the mud track, so you will have to walk a lot.

This is a special PhotoWalk curated by historian Ms. Thirupurasundari Sevvel. She will walk us through the lanes of Aminjikarai and take us through the history and nostalgia hidden in those old buildings and narrow lanes.
Organised by The Chennai Photowalk Team.

This time as we click pictures, let us learn some history as well, as it has been rightly said “வரலாறு முக்கியம் அமைச்சரே”.

This is a free walk, but registration is mandatory.

The Chennai Photowalks team is organizing a photowalk to go around the IIT Campus and explore the unexplored.

IIT Madras is one of the most prestigious educational institutions in India. The best part is its lush green campus spread across over 600 acres in the heart of the Chennai city.

A significant part of the campus is a protected forest (carved out of the Guindy National Park). The campus is home to large numbers Chital (spotted deer), Blackbuck, Monkeys, and other rare wildlife. Further one can sight birds (Indian Pittas, Ground Thrushes and Painted Storks) that are nested around the tree-populated lake and amazing colourful butterflies all across the campus. The Campus also has a natural lake, deepened in 1988 and 2003, draining most of its rainwater.
