A grand Chettinad mansion on a wide Karaikudi plot, its ornate lime-plastered facade fronted by a raised thinnai verandah laid in handmade athangudi tiles. Tall plastered columns and a deeply carved teak doorway announce the Chettiar trading heritage. The thick lime walls and shaded verandah suit the hot-dry Tamil Nadu interior, staying cool through fierce summers. The earthy plaster with ivory trim and dark teak captures the timeless Chettinad palette. You can switch finishes to compare looks before deciding.
