Mandapams in Chromepet

Chromepet is one good location for conducting weddings and receptions, due to its very good road and rail access facilities.

Metro buses from Tamabaram plying towards the city and route-buses from down South enable easy access via buses to Chromepet. The suburban railway connects it well with Central Chennai areas and with Tambaram, where almost all trains from the South would make a stop. And, being on the wide GST road, characterized by its free flow of traffic, also enables driving of personal vehicles and better parking facilities.

The following are the marriage halls (mandapams) available in Chromepet..

Cinema theatre closes business in Mylapore, to reopen as Mandapam (Marriage Hall)


The Kamadhenu theatre, near Mylapore Luz Corner, has closed its movie screening business recently. It's last movie was "Veera Thalapathy" JK Riteesh's Nayagan. While one would like joke about the outcome of screening "Veera Thalapathy" JK Riteesh's movie, the real reason might actually be the rampant piracy of movies.
