Most Chettinad mansions have at least a couple of courtyards. You enter the first courtyard through the living space. This first inner courtyard is open-air with huge pillars and rooms on either side. Often, a triangular shelf is built into the walls for lamps. You can see all these wonders of Chettinad architecture and more when you stay at Visalam.
