Chinnakada ((マラヤーラム語:ചിന്നക്കട)) or Chinnakkada is considered as the heart of the city of Kollam, in the state of Kerala, India. Chinnakada is one of the major junctions in the city where National Highways – NH 66 (Earlier NH 47) meets NH 744 (Earlier NH 208). The city's symbolic clock tower is located in Chinnakada. Because of the presence of a huge traffic circle in the junction, it became as one of the busiest junctions in the city. To reduce the traffic congestion in Chinnakada, Kollam Municipal Corporation now constructed a new underpass near to the clock tower.〔() It's traffic nightmare in Kollam as underpass work resumes〕 Marine Products Export Development Authority(MPEDA)'s Kollam sub-regional office is situated at Chinnakada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MPEDA )〕 ==Toponomy== The name ''Chinnakada'' may be derived from ''China-Kada'', which means China bazaar. Another explanation is that due to the presence of a large number of Tamil people in Kollam, they named the area ''Chinnakada'', which means "small market" in the Tamil language. This derivation fits with the toponomy of ''Valiakada'' adjacent to Chinnakada, which means "big market" in Malayalam.〔() History of Kollam〕 ;Other areas of Kollam ending in ''chinnakada'' *Kadappakada *Payikkada *Pullikada *Valiyakada 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chinnakada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
