No this is not Besant Nagar. There is another Theosophical society in the heart of Chennai, in Triplicane aka Thiruvallikeni, the cultural nerve centre of Chennai,with its traditional madisar & Panchakacham clad women and men folks, who have visiting the famous Parthsarathy temple and participating in its festivites as part of their day to day lives.
