Poompuhar, Anna Salai

Poompuhar’s Anna Salai sales showroom is a focused stop for Tamil Nadu handicrafts in central Chennai. The state corporation’s store locator identifies the visitor showroom at 108 Anna Salai. Keep this retail destination distinct from the organisation’s administrative headquarters and other branches.

Poompuhar is the brand of the Tamil Nadu Handicrafts Development Corporation, established in 1973 to support the state’s arts and craftspeople. Approach the showroom as a place to compare materials, techniques and finished objects.

Choose a craft or material that interests you and examine selected pieces. Ask staff about how an object was made, its intended use and the care it needs. A useful conversation can explain differences that are difficult to judge from appearance alone.

The corporation markets a range of traditional craft products, with stock varying by showroom and date. Use current labels and staff explanations for the pieces on display. An item seen in the online catalogue or a past exhibition is not a guarantee of present shelf availability.

Check the displayed price, dimensions and packing arrangement before choosing a piece. If you need a gift, consider how it will be carried and whether the material requires special care. Confirm any delivery, exchange or collection arrangement directly with the showroom.

Poompuhar also holds themed craft exhibitions and sales. Check a current official notice for its date, venue and session before travelling specifically for an event. A temporary exhibition’s opening hours or offer should not become an assumed year-round rule for the shop.

Navigate to the named Poompuhar Sales Showroom opposite the LIC Building at 108 Anna Salai, Chennai 600002. The corporation also publishes an office address at 759 Anna Salai. These addresses serve different functions, so use the showroom entry when arranging your visit.

Allow a suggested hour for browsing and questions. Confirm the current showroom session and any admission arrangement directly, as no general visitor tariff was established from the locator. Purchases and additional services follow the actual product and the terms agreed with staff.
