The wood used in construction was imported from Burma, lights and mirrors from Belgium, chandeliers from Daman and Diu, and exquisite tiles from Italy. With intricate artwork, authentic Chettinad architecture, vintage accessories, famous “Athangudi tiles”, and immaculate hospitality, the Chidambara Vilas is the most endearing symbol of the Chettinad era.
