Kodambakkam, Entertainment district in Chennai, India
Kodambakkam spans across central Chennai with a network of residential areas, commercial establishments, and film production facilities covering several square kilometers.
The neighborhood evolved from a municipality in Chingleput district to become part of Madras city in 1921, marking a significant administrative transformation.
The area contains the Vengeeswarar Temple and Bharadvajeswarar Temple, both dating from the 13th century, representing architectural heritage of the Later Chola period.
Kodambakkam railway station connects residents to Chennai's suburban rail network, while the 1967 flyover facilitates road transportation across the district.
The first movie studio in Kodambakkam, established by Avichi Meiyappa Chettiar in 1948, initiated the area's transformation into Tamil cinema's production center.
