Mansions of Chettinad, is a large format illustrated book containing exquisite photographs of the astonishing Architecture of Chettinad, an eclectic and hybrid style not seen anywhere else. With an insightful commentary in English and French this is a book to treasure for those with an abiding interest in architecture, especially Indian architecture, design and heritage. Chettinad has an unique architectural heritage and a legacy which is fast disappearing due to a complete lack of awareness. This is the first attempt to record and document this architecture, providing unique insight into the evolution of the houses and their remarkably varied styles, and covering the materials and finishes used in these luxurious mansions.
