2011 Flashback - A bit of Armenia in Madras


 It is a joke that I spend more time in Chennai aka Madras than in Bangalore. Almost every month, I spend a few days in my hometown. But this trip was special. I revisited several landmarks and went on a few heritage walks during the Madras Day celebrations.


And I finally visited the 18th century Armenian Church in Armenian Street in Parry's Corner. There was a time when Chennai was filled with Armenian merchants and even today, stories float around. But all that remains today is a lone church and a street named after the community.

Wonderful pics of the church. I have been to Chennai on so many occasions but never found time to visit this church. Believed to one of the oldest churches in the sub continent.
