Athangudi Tile Workshops

Village workshops where artisans still hand pour colourful Athangudi floor tiles.

Athangudi is the craft village behind Chettinad's famous geometric floor tiles. Small workshops let visitors watch artisans pour coloured cement into patterned frames, a process that has changed little for generations. You can often buy tiles or see custom colour samples made on the spot. Most travelers stop here right after Athangudi Palace, which is only a short walk or drive away.
