Rajaji Hall
Start your trip from Anna Salai (Mount Road) and direct yourself to the Rajaji Hall. This majestic building, (formerly the Banqueting Hall and the residence of the Governor), in a beautifully treed park setting, was built by Edward Clive, son of Robert Clive, to celebrate the British Victory over ‘Tipu Sultan’ in the adjoining state of Karnataka.In shape and style, it resembles a classic Greek temple and the design was made by the East India company’s astronomer and engineer Goldingham in 1802. Rajaji Hall is approached by an impressive flight of steps and the building features both Corinthian and lonic columns and colonnaded marble terraces. It is presently used for important Government functions. PH: 25365635
