Quick Trivia from Wordist

Chepauk Palace on Wallajah Road near the Marina was the Madras residence of the Nawabs of Arcot, once the rulers of Tamil Nadu. Spread over 117 acres, it was completed in 1768, and is known for its lime mortar, red brick walls, wide arches and intricate carvings. It now houses the Board of Revenue and the Public Works Department of the State Government. Now known as the Revenue Board Building, it is considered as one of the city's earlier Mughal style buildings. #besurprised #Historytoday #Chennai #Madras #History
