Chinna Veedu: Mistress, Concubine, Keep
literally means 'small house' in Tamil. Dates back to the time when it was a status symbol for the landlord to have a mistress, even though he was married and had a family. The mistress would be given a house outside the village, in the Landlord's jameen, where the landlord would visit her as he fancied.
Usage
Dinakaran has a chinna veedu hidden away in Denkanikotte. He visits her every month and showers her with gold jewellery to express his lau for her.
