'''Kosapet''' (Tamil: குயபெட்டை) is a suburb of [[Chennai]]. The name is a corruption of Kuyavar Pettai ("Potter's Locality"), and originated due to the concentration of potters and artisans in this area. The area is Ward 98 (Zone 7) of [[Chennai Corporation]].<br />
<br />
Kosapet is situated near [[Purasawalkam]]. Kuyavar Pettai is the original name. The locality is popular for many events and festival celebrations which is unique in every street.
