At the public toilets of the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) on Sunnambu Kalvai Street near Dr. Natesan Road in Triplicane, a participant of the ‘Toilet Walk’ found that one of the sink taps was faulty, while the rest of the facility was functioning properly.
The walk was part of the Corporation’s International Toilet Festival 3.0, organised in collaboration with NGOs Cheer and WashLab. Two sessions were held on Saturday (June 21, 2025): a morning walk focused on ‘exploring the psychology of toilet art’, and an evening roundtable discussion on ‘disability as a diversified human experience’.
At the end of the walk at Kandappa Ram Nagar, located nearby, many participants hesitated to sit near another public toilet. However, after an hour-long discussion held at the site, the space transformed into one of interaction rather than discomfort.

Sannuthi Suresh, a psychotherapist, and Vishnu V., a psychologist, moderated discussions on the various forms of body language people exhibit when entering public toilets.
