Grandmothers and great grandmothers were familiar with the Rangachari Cloth Store  It was the store next door for cotton sarees in Chennai. This 70 year old store has the same store front that it had 40 years ago. There is no modern steel & glass interior here. It maintains the same facade and same look & feel.

The saris are stacked from the ground up and are neatly organized in various sections. However, they  now stock both traditional & trendy cotton sarees in Chennai .
