Tharamani is an area in the south Indian city of Chennai. It is known for the presence of many IT parks and research institutions. It is located adjacent to the posh residential locality of Adyar in South Chennai.The temple of Madhya Kailash, at the junction of the Old Mahabalipuram Road and Sardar Patel Road, marks the beginning of Tharamani. Tharamani adjoins Adyar, Thiruvanmiyur, Velachery and Perungudi. The Old Mahabalipuram Road is Tharamani’s arterial road. It is renamed as Rajiv Gandhi Salai and often called as IT corridor. Another important road in the area is the Tharamani Link Road which links Tharamani with Velachery running from SRP tools junction on Rajiv Gandhi Salai to Vijayanagar bus terminus in Velachery where it merges with Velachery main road which runs from Little Mount junction in Saidapet to Tambaram via Medavakkam. This is now being widened into a 6-lane road because of the enormous increase in traffic.
