Chennai’s iconic church, the ‘Kirk’ turns 200
The Hindu
On arterial Poonamallee High Road, flanked by Egmore Railway Station and the Police Commissioner’s office stands the imposing St Andrew’s church like a weightless dream in pale white.
Fondly known as the Kirk (Scottish for church), the church’s steeple, the tallest in the city, soars above a sea of shivering green. The bell cocooned in its innards tolls the end of a service, sending great flocks of pigeons into flight.
