This photo may have been taken in Australia. His wife Molly Fink, was an Australian socialite.

I believe both Ramnad and Pudukkottai were "Princely States". Could be wrong.

Thavasumuthu Nadar of Porayar bought the Ariyalur Zamindari in the court auction and became the first Nadar Zamindar of Ariyalur.

The picture is from Seithur, but is surely Photo-shopped (maybe in period ?)
