Once an important location of a home, the Thinnai (aka the front portion of an house to allow people sitting/ some times sleeping), now fast vanishing as an build item in many homes. The Thinnai (in Tamil திண்ணை) was a place where some passersby can stop by and relax from the hot & humid climates, the house owners can sit and engage in conversations with his neighbours and many more such social engagements. Now obviously vanishing, was very happy to see such an home with Thinnai in Mylapore. At a lane off Sundareswarar Street, Mylapore.
