The original name is madarasa pattinam, sounding similar to visaka pattinam, masooli patinam. naga pattinam a sea shore port. Why is is called madarasa pattinam.<br /><br />Madarasa is the name for a education center, university across asia. Muslims from west and east visited kanchi to learn. the port of arrival is this land. So aply named a university port aka madarasa pattinam.Charanhttp://www.inewsindia.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709912869686455426.post-23600195998979937882014-08-21T12:56:32.152-04:002014-08-21T12:56:32.152-04:00Those who interested may see one of my old posts, ...Those who interested may see one of my old posts, with some interesting age old photos of Chennai city.
