The TTD has resolved to take up balance improvement works along the Alipiri foot path at a cost of ₹ 11 crore. The ancient foot path which is generally preferred by pilgrims in reaching up the temple town is 7.60 kilometers long and has around 3,550 steps. Over 20,000 pilgrims frequent the footpath on an average every day and on auspicious occasions the numbers cross 40,000 pilgrims.
Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
