பல்லாவரம் Lakes
Pallavaram (Tamil: பல்லாவரம்) is a suburban town within the city of Chennai and a municipality in Kancheepuram district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is located near Tambaram, a hub for suburban trains as well as trains bound south.
Pallavaram was originally called Pallavapuram and has been in existence since the times of the Pallava king Mahendravarman I who built magnificent temples here. A cave shrine excavated on the Pallavaram Hills is one of the oldest temples in Chennai and predates Mamallapuram. However, the British archaeologist, Robert Bruce Foote had discovered artifacts and stone implements belonging to the Old Stone and Iron Age here.

THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THE EXACT LAKE SPOT WHERE RAJANIKANTH ACTED IN THE MOVIE "Bhairavi" SOME 30 YEARS AGO...
Its surrounding areas include Pammal, Anakaputhur, Pozhichalur, Nagalkeni etc. Pallavaram is also a roadways hub, as all buses coming to Chennai from the south have to pass through this place. It is dangerously crowded during peak hours.
Pallavaram in recent times was destroyed by encroachers - Lakes and Ponds where the only source of water. With a 200-foot road destroyed the Pallavaram Big Lake, is now in High Court to get it restored. The SEZ is coming up in the middle of the lake by "rich dogs" with the "cooperation" of local politition and local encroachers both Ruling and opponent parties of Pallavaram Municipalities with the help from Tambaram Tasildar office, Pallavaram Commissioner office of Pallavaram Municipality. The Vels college is also encroached by the rich men. It is constructed right in the middle of the lake. Pallavaram Lake is 2nd to Chembarambakkam Lake. The mindless fellows - so called officers might have reclassified the lake area as residential area, just for the sake of few "bones that dogs grabs". Hence talking of law and order and rules of law is really funny in India. One who has money and political power can do anything in India....!!!! When there is any flood situation the rich are normally not affected because they fly somewhere else and comeback when the flood dries. The poor are thrown out with a few bags of rice and the problem is solved temporarily....!!!
