A man with a humble beginning. A dream to make it big. And a simple idea driven by a lot of passion. When you bring all three together, the possibilities are immense.

 

Way back in 1981, our founder Mr. P. Rajagopal (Annachi as he is lovingly called) believed that few things bring about a smile of satisfaction like good food.

 

Hotel Saravana Bhavan was opened, primarily to bridge the gap of the non-existence of a quality vegetarian restaurant.

 

Annachi, was later joined in this quest by his sons, Mr. P. R. Shiva Kumaar and Mr. R. Saravanan who have lent their expertise in monitoring the day to day operations as well as initiating new business strategies. From then on, there has been no looking back.

 

Ever since, our Hotel Saravana Bhavan has crossed milestones, set records, redefined the dine-in experience.

Old lighthouse in Pondicherry turns into a Museum

The 173-year-old lighthouse in Pondicherry, which was abandoned several decades ago and became a dump yard for broken furniture from government offices, has begun to receive due recognition

Plans are on to promote the lighthouse as a cultural hotspot by setting up a permanent museum inside it to house rare artefacts, images and photographs tracing the rich maritime tradition of ports on the Coromandel Coast and their cultural connections with the rest of the world since the first century BC

Special emphasis will be on Puducherry, elaborating its ancient connections through a series of drawing and photographs of Arikamedu that saw flourishing trade with Rome in the first century BC

The proposal, initiated by the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), had been affected by administrative issues but union minister of planning, parliamentary affairs and culture V Narayanasamy, who visited the lighthouse this week along with Puducherry home minister E Valsaraj, promised that the union ministry of culture would extend all necessary support for the project

The lighthouse, with oil lamps built by the French in 1836, can be seen from a distance of 24 kmThe oil lamps were replaced with electric lights in the first half of the 20th centurySoon, a new lighthouse was constructed on the outskirts of the town and the old one remained as a technical marvel, drawing tourists from far and wideFor a while, visitors were permitted to go up the tower through a wooden staircaseEntry was closed a few decades ago

“Now we propose to establish a permanent gallery tracing the history of ancient port cities, including Puducherry, with a series of rare artefacts, photos and paintings with the assistance from the union ministry of cultureThe ancient monument will be promoted as an important tourist destination in this part of the world,” Narayanasamy said

The proposal includes setting up two see-through capsule elevators enabling the tourist to reach the top of the tower for a view of the entire territory.

“The proposed museum will be the only one of its kind in the country and it will have information about erstwhile ports, harbours, navigation and maritime activities, trade practices, tax systems, political and administrative systems, language and literature, manufacturing techniques, living styles and artistic practices of ancient communities,” said former IGNCA diaspora programme head Suresh Kumar Pillai.
