Meet verified people in RS Puram, Coimbatore

RS Puram, or Ramanathapuram Rattinasabapathy Puram, is one of Coimbatore’s most well-known neighbourhoods, a planned residential area with wide streets, old bungalows and two busy shopping roads, DB Road and TV Samy Road. It is home to many established families and has a calm, cultured character, with music sabhas, temples and some of the city’s favourite cafés and sweet shops. For Myra members, RS Puram is a comfortable, central place for a first date, with plenty of choices for coffee or a meal. Introductions here often include people from Saibaba Colony, Tatabad, Race Course, Gandhi Park and Sukrawarpet. A coffee on DB Road, followed by a walk along the quieter side streets, is a simple first date that suits most people. The Gass Forest Museum and the Race Course walking track are both close by for a daytime outing. Evenings are lively but rarely overwhelming, which makes the neighbourhood comfortable for a first meeting. The neighbourhood is named after R. S. Rathinasabapathy Mudaliar, a civic leader of the early twentieth century, and DB Road takes its name from Diwan Bahadur, an honorific of the colonial era. The older Ponnaiyarajapuram streets nearby, with their tiled houses and small temples, are worth a slow walk on a quiet morning.
