'''Praveena Solomon''' is a crematorium manager of [[Chennai]]’s oldest and busiest cremation ground.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-36955823|title=The Chennai woman who runs a Hindu crematorium|date=2016-08-04|newspaper=BBC News|language=en-GB|access-date=2016-12-08}}</ref>

Praveena started caretaking the Velankadu crematorium two and a half years ago as part of her attachment with an NGO.

Eventually, she managed to win over the people's hearts, courtesy a combination of support from the police and her own hard efforts. Solomon worked untiringly to change the looks of crematorium that looked ugly when she took over its affairs more than two years ago. Now people say it looks like a park.<ref name=":0" />

Solomon's current avatar is unique as it marks the first time a woman is running a burial ground in Tamil Nadu, where—like in most parts of the country—upkeep of crematorium is a male domain traditionally.<ref name=":0" />
