The neighborhood of Triplicane is known for its crowded markets, Raj-era houses and the Marina Beach, with its ice-cream sellers and memorials to former Chief Ministers. Behind the beach, is the Mughal-style Triplicane Big Mosque, and the ancient Arulmigu Sri Parthasarathy Swamy Temple, featuring intricately carved towers and a sacred tank. The area is also popular for its South Indian eateries and biryani stalls.
