Where to buy Camera Accessories and Equipment in Chennai

When I wanted to buy camera accessories such as tripods, flashes, strobes, off camera flashes, hot shoe adapter, cold shoe adapter, super clamp, umbrella, diffusers and all such hobbyist or professional studio equipment, I called all high profile camera stores and could not find any of them even stocking decent camera equipment for hobbyist. All they had were P&S and DSLRs, Memory cards, cases etc.,
I tried Camera Citi, Shetala and all such high profile stores. Finally through a gentleman in Flickr, I found out that there exists an area in Chennai that is the Ritchie street for Cameras.
There is a whole plaza full of them at
 Fazl Complex 
Wallajah Road.
 Chennai
 
I was referred to INDIA PHOTO HOUSE in this complex.

How to get there
From Beach Road (Marina)
From Chepauk Stadium proceed straight towards Mount road
 This complex opposite to the new TN Assembly  building on Wallajah Road Itself (DONT GO TO MOUNT ROAD)
This complex is a couple of stores next to Radio warehouse.


From Mount Road.
Take the right next to Shanti Theater / VGP before the secretariat to enter Wallajah Road
Proceed down Wallajah Road to take the first available U-Turn.
Proceed back towards Mount Road find out Radiowarehouse. This building is a couple of stores next to Radio warehouse and opposite to the new TN Assembly complex. Remember this is on Wallajah Road NOT MOUNT ROAD.

I'm writing this hoping that search engines would catch this and some hapless person searching like me would come across this.

Finally, a note of thanks to Mr.Pradeep whose lead made me check this place out.
