- To Opposite the Kapaleeswarar Temple tank at Mylapore in Chennai, stands an apartment named ‘Vishwakamal’.
- The place of an epoch-making meeting that led to the formation of the Indian National Congress in 1885.
- Soon after the annual convention of the Theosophical Society at Adyar in December 1884, 17 men from different parts of the country met at this house.
- Allan Octavian Hume, the ‘Father of the Congress’, was not among them.
- But some claims are there as “The Indian National Congress organised here December 1884”.
- In March 1885, it was decided to hold a meeting of representatives from all parts of India at the then coming Christmas without any reference to the 1884 meeting in Madras.
