<u>Public Community Hall</u> - Kothapatnam can now boast of a spacious "kalyanamandapam" (community hall) with all facilities, thanks to Sriram Family Trust, Chennai. The community hall was constructed at a cost of Rs. 16 lakhs and was inaugurated on Wednesday, 12 October 2005. S. Parthsarathy and his brother S. Nandagopal wanted the kalyanamandapam to be available to all castes and communities free of cost for social, cultural and religious purposes. The brothers wanted to perpetuate the memory of their father, Sriram Venkatarangam Chetty who was born in Kothapatnam and migrated to Chennai in 1900 where he engaged himself in business. Although he only brought his family to Kothapatnam for two years during the evacuation period in 1940s, the link between the family and the village is still active through various charitable activities. | <u>Public Community Hall</u> - Kothapatnam can now boast of a spacious "kalyanamandapam" (community hall) with all facilities, thanks to Sriram Family Trust, Chennai.
