Few weekends back we had a family
outing on ECR (east coast road) and on a leisure drive we went till Chinna Cuddalore beach near
the mouth of River Palar... about 80km from Chennai. The indefinite drive took
us around the Kalpakkam Township which created for the employees working in the
Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research and Power Station.

| Calm backwater across the township |
I come across the Kalpakkam
Township after long back and I really like this place for its quiet clam
environment and beautiful lanes and well maintained gardens and greenery and
trees and Backwaters Lake. There are about 26,000 people reside there hailing
from across the country and they are provided with all amenities like schools,
hospital, shopping complex and sports ground. There are about 4,920 quarters
and the township was established in 1979.

| Beautiful lane across the township |
The township was parted by two,
which was cut cross by a backwater canal close to Bay of Bengal and the two
sides are connected by two beautiful bridges, and the backwater is visited by
many migratory birds. The platforms lay beside the backwater was inviting to
take a walk leisurely in evening and checking the birds and the plenty of trees
gives huge shelter on both sides of the lanes.

| Chinna cuddalore beach |
We carried our lunch along with
us and had at one of a trees shelter along the ECR and went discovering the
Chinna Cuddalore beach, coming across the country side with paddy fields and
herd of goats. The way to the beach is an isolated lane with the company of
green coconut groves and at the end of the beach a fishing research centers
have being on construction in full fledge.
On our way back home we stopped
at the Palar river bridge to take few shots on the river bed and leftover water.
It’s been years water flowed through this river and the illegal sand mine is
one of a reason to barren its flow... and I always wish for an off-road trail
on the river bed which never happened and don’t believe to be happening though! sign
the water ripples in the top shot are beautiful! i like the rows of palms, too.
ReplyDeletelovely place..nice snaps Jeevan
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. The beach photos make me miss even more our summer season.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe if I tell you, we used to cross the Palar river to go to my grandma's village. It was about a kilometer wide, and in rainy seasons, people used to carry children on the shoulders and try to cross!Sad everything is destroyed by greed!
ReplyDeleteBut Kalpakkam township is so pretty, and the narration makes me want to visit the place. Though it is atomic energy, Govt. has seen that the environment is green, for scientific reasons may be?
Whatever, I am glad you had a good outing.
Lovely pictures too.
Thanks.
It looks as if you had a beautiful drive along ECR. Your photos are marvelous. I really like your views of the beach and water.

ReplyDeleteThis post has evoked a wonderful sense of emotion in me, Jeevan. It brings me back some fine memories of my times in Chennai and life on ECR, which was my home for a year - a year of immense happiness, peace, content, love and bliss.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and clean place.
ReplyDeleteThose are some brilliant photographs, Jeevan (you do seem to have an eye for turning the commonplace into something extraordinary, in your narratives as well as clicks!)
ReplyDeleteThe second and fourth pictures are my favourite :)
