TEYNAMPET

Teynampet is a small suburban region that lies towards the south of the Chennai city. Teynampet region features a small commercial centre in the south. The place is inhabited by the residential population, mostly in the south eastern parts of the locality. These small regions have developed into thriving colonies like Veenus Colony and Beethamal Colony. The eastern regions are however provided with quite a number of business enterprises. The entire area, that is Teynampet locality, is surounded by yet other important townships of the city. The neighboring localities for Teynampet include Mylapore, Kotturpuram, Thyagaraya Nagar and Nungambakkam. The region has two major road links, one running from north to south called Anna Salai and the other from east to west called Eldams Road.

A description of Teynampet reveals some important features of the place. The fact that the region is provided with a number of star and cheap hotels makes it one of the destinations that tourists usually come looking for. These hotels are scattered at random in the suburb precincts. Some noted accommodation providers located here include Residency Hotel, Dee Cee Manor, Regency Golden Sun, Park Sheraton and Chola Sheraton. These hotels are situated at strategic positions, most of them very close to the major road links.

Teynampet houses one of the famous Chennai's arts and science women's college Justice Basheer Ahmed Sayeed College (more commonly known as SIET). Just opposite to the college is the Seethamal colony, a very quiet, modest residential locality that is in the vicinity of Anna Salai.

All the express, ordinary, and at times, even the out-station buses that ply on Anna Salai stop at the Teynampet SIET stop.
