Athangudi Palace (Athangudi Periya Veedu) is one of the few Chettinad mansions regularly open to travelers for a paid walk through. Interiors mix Burma teak, stained Belgian glass, Italian marble, and handmade Athangudi tile floors in a courtyard layout typical of Nagarathar homes. The darbar hall is the showpiece, and a visit explains why Chettinad architecture is so sought after. Pair it with a nearby tile workshop the same afternoon.
