In Chettinad, Visalam, a majestic mansion, was built by KVAL Ramanathan Chettiar for his daughter, Visalakshi, over a century ago. Although intended as a family home, it was only used for gatherings. Years later, it was passed down, bringing a rich legacy and restoration challenge. With care and dedication, we restored this masterpiece, selecting materials and artisans who treated Visalam as a work of art. The interior spaces were partitioned into cosy guest rooms, preserving the original essence. Today, Visalam exudes an unaltered charm, echoing the heartwarming story of a father's gift.
