Washermanpet
Washermanpet, also known as Vannarpet, derives its name from the washerfolk community that historically inhabited the area. It is one of Chennai's oldest residential neighbourhoods, characterised by narrow streets, small temples, and a close-knit community fabric. The arrival of the Chennai Metro Blue Line has brought significant transformation, with Washermanpet Metro Station serving as a key terminus and improving connectivity to the rest of the city.
