Raj Bhavan is the abode of the governor of Tamil nadu and is located in the City of Madras. Initially Raj Bhavan was in Parade Square, which was destroyed by the French. These days it's located in the Guindy Park and the area covers the region of about 156.14 acres, and several public places are also made in the suburbs. A small part of it has been provided to the forestry department. Several other areas like Adyar River Bed and Ikkadu Thangal too belong to Raj Bhavan and these places are used as water pumping station these days.

Two of the more intact sites are Dolmen Circle on the ghat road not far from Periakulam and the one two kilometers past Pannaikadu village, on the highest point before descending to Pattiveerampatti.
