Renovation of Muthulakshmi Reddy's Chennai Home Approved by Temple Authorities
Renovation work will soon begin on the historic home of Muthulakshmi Reddy in Chennai, enabled by the Tiruvannamalai Sri Arunachaleswarar Devasthanam following a Madras High Court order. Dr. Reddy, India's first woman medical graduate and legislator, lived there for over 30 years. The building, currently in poor condition, sits on temple land leased to her. Funding involves a trust established by her son, with past support from former Chief Ministers M.G. Ramachandran and J. Jayalalithaa facilitating land and access arrangements.
