AboutMr.Pl. Family

MR.PL. House stands as a prominent landmark in the village of Nerkuppai, spread across more than 5 acres. Known for its elegant architecture, it has endured through generations as a symbol of heritage and pride.

Built in 1902, this ancestral home was constructed by the four sons of Mr. M.R. Palaniappa Chettiar. It is fondly known as “Idi Thaangi Veedu”, a name reflecting its strong and enduring structure. A distinctive feature of the house is its lightning rod—crafted from a special metal alloy—installed to protect the building from lightning strikes by safely channeling electrical discharges into the ground.
