Grand Christmas Ball today in Chennai
For a good part of the twentieth century, the epicentre of Anglo-Indian social life was the Railway Institutes, and in Chennai, it was the one in Perambur. Snapshot of a Grand Christmas Ball at the Railway Institute in Perambur.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball (7 p.m. to 11.30 p.m.) — titled Care ‘n’ Share Christmas Ball — organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them.
