the gilr jounalist who compiled this list talked to me before hand. she was chandras friend
i specifically told her there is nothing wondorous about chettinaad palace except that it sis owned by high profile people
even in chettinaad there are houses with a thousand windows , houses with wonderful carvings etc. i told her to take chettinaad as a whole. but she wanted on building
i told her to link senji and kallanai but then they left it out. senji i told her had been ruled by pallavas, sholas, perhaps pandyas, rajputs, mughals, nawabs english and the french kallanai i told her was the first dam in the world that still does its work
i dont think chandra was able to prevail on her too.
