Also known as ‘Spare Parts Road’, K.T. Street or Kalamma Temple Street with its criss-crossing lanes and by-lanes is the hub of all electronic items available at a ‘reasonable cost’. The road is steeped in history that was once dominated by goldsmiths who were dexterous in creating exquisite ornaments by melting the shiny yellow metal. From the street of goldsmiths, K.T. Street has transformed itself into a world of computers, remote controls, CCTV cameras, mobiles and their accessories. Take a walk with this Weekend Star Supplement to explore the historical street, its rich past and its present state.
