AR House (also known locally as AR Veedu) is an authentic, 280 to 300-year-old ancestral Chettinad heritage mansion located in the historic village of Kanadukathan near Karaikudi. We made a quick visit to see this popular house.
Spanning over a vast one-acre plot, this sprawling palace was built by Mr. R. M. Arunachalam Chettiar, the Zamindar of Silathur. Unlike many restricted private palaces in the region, AR House is fully open to the public as a living museum. There is a nominal entrt fee of Rs. 50 for visitors.
