Back to Coimbatore

Peelamedu lies along Avinashi Road in east Coimbatore, between the city centre and the airport. It is home to several well-known colleges, a large hospital, technology parks and growing residential areas, which give it a young and busy feel. For Myra members, Peelamedu is a popular area for first dates among students aged 18 and over and young professionals. Introductions here often include people from Hope College, Lakshmi Mills, Nava India, Sitra and Codissia, depending on your distance limit. Avinashi Road is lined with cafés, restaurants and shopping centres, which make it easy to plan a short, public meeting after classes or work. The area is calmer on weekend mornings, when a breakfast date at a local restaurant is a relaxed choice. During college festivals, the area becomes even livelier, with events that can make fun later dates. Peelamedu grew around textile mills such as the Lakshmi Mills, founded in 1910, and later became home to engineering colleges, including PSG College of Technology, founded in 1951. Several of the old mill compounds have been converted into shopping and office spaces, but the area’s red-brick chimneys and staff colonies still tell its story. The Codissia complex, built by the city’s small industries association, hosts the INTEC engineering fair that draws visitors from across India. The airport side of Avinashi Road has new apartment blocks, where many young families have moved in recent years. Many alumni cafés near the colleges display old team photographs on their walls.
