The Second Largest Electronics Market in India - Ritchie Street

By -
Ritchie Street, the narrow street that is always crowded like anything, is located near the famous Mount Road (Anna Salai) in Chennai. The street that goes next to P.Orr & Sons will take you to Ritchie Street.


There were hardly five shops in Ritchie Street in the 1970s. Now there are around 900 shops which deal with all kinds of electronic items and computer peripherals. After the Nehru Place market in New Delhi, Chennai’s Ritchie Street is the second-largest market for computer spares and peripherals in India. If you know to bargain well, you can buy any electronic items cheaply in this street, which is impossible in another part of the city.

Happy shopping and happy travelling.

Consecrated in March 2021, the 40 feet high Bala Murugan icon at Saveetha Medical College campus is the tallest image of Murugan in Chennai. Malaysia has 140 feet tall Murugan. In April 2022, the 146 feet tall image of Murugan was consecrated near Salem in Tamil Nadu. However, they are all stucco images. But, the one that we find on the college campus is a monolithic granite icon. Thus, it is the tallest stone icon of Murugan in the entire world. A stone weighing 320 tonnes was brought from Siruvambur near Wallajah, and it was carved to 140 tonnes to get this beautiful and gigantic sculpture. The entire temple complex is designed in the shape of the Devanagiri letter "Om", which can be appreciated in the aerial view.  The west-facing gigantic sculpture is located atop the star-shaped pedestal.
