Hanumantharayan
Koil Street house

Ramanujan took up residence at Hanumantharayan Koil Street in Triplicane. He lived with his mother and Janaki, his wife. Soon after receiving the University’s Scholarship offer, in February 1914, he sent his wife and mother back to Kumbakonam. He changed his hair-style, from the traditional Brahminical style of a tuft, to the “English Crop”, equipped himself with Western dresses and prepared for his departure to England.
