Kodambakkam

Kodambakkam has been made famous by the existence of the film industry in the heart of this area, therefore we call it Kollywood.

It has a 500 years old temple called the Bharthukesavar temple. Some say the name has been derived from "Karkodagan Pakkam". Karkodagan is the name of a famous snake in Hindu mythology, said that the snake worshiped Lord Shiva here.

There is still a temple for Lord Shiva by the name Vengeeshwarar in Kodambakkam and others say that it is derived from Ghoda Bagh meaning "garden of horses", since this area was the source for the horses of the stable of the Nawab of the Carnatic. The neighbourhood got one of the city's first flyovers in 1967, about 623 m long and 12.8 m wide.

Many film artists stay here because of its closeness to the film studios. Indian music director A.R.Rahman's house and his AM Studios is located in the same street, as is the KM Music Conservatory, the music conservatory founded by him.

Liberty Park Hotel, Cine City Hotel and Hotel Nayagara are situated here. Chittinada School, Government HSS and the Fatima Play Schools are found here. Some of the film studios are the Fish Eye Creations, Mano Studio and the Siam Studio.
