Chettinad is a place with rich heritage and culture in India. It is famous for its cuisine, home architecture and athangudi tiles. The affluent Chettiars used to visit different countries and brought home ideas, artefacts from their trade travels. This resulted in European and Asian items finding their way to Chettinad.
Chettinadu culture and food influence is so deeply rooted in my heart. We will definitely have some posts on Chettinad houses and their home decor.
Athangudi tiles are handmade floor tiles. They originated from Athangudi village in Chettinad, Tamilnadu. They are so vibrant in colour and one would definitely fall in love at first glance. These tiles are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they also offer a durable and long-lasting flooring solution.
Athangudi Tiles are still produced using traditional techniques which is passed down through generations of tile makers in the region. As each tile is handmade there will be slight variations in each piece.
