Vivekananda House
Triplicane, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India; Kamarajar Salai (Marina Beach Road), Chennai 600005
Vivekananda House is a focused heritage visit on Chennai’s seafront, well suited to travellers who want a specific historical narrative rather than a sprawling all-day attraction. The institution’s own visitor page identifies it as Vivekananda House, Kamarajar Salai, Triplicane, Chennai 600005, which firmly establishes the exact site on the Marina corridor. Its importance comes from its association with Swami Vivekananda, but for visitors the practical appeal is equally clear: it is a contained, easy-to-locate stop that can be combined with a walk along the beachfront and other nearby Triplicane and Marina landmarks. The official visitor information also makes this one of the easier Chennai heritage entries to plan accurately. Timings are listed as 10.00 am to 12.30 pm and 3.00 pm to 7.15 pm, with Sunday evening extended to 7.30 pm, and the building is closed on Mondays. The same page states that there is an elevator provision for disabled and elderly visitors and that restrooms are available, which materially improves confidence for trip planning. Entry is museum-style rather than purely symbolic: the site runs exhibitions and ticketed experiences, including options that combine the main exhibition with 3D and 4D components. That makes Vivekananda House a concise but structured cultural stop with clearly published visitor arrangements.
