Dear M. Selvaraj,
The Chimera Programmer's Guide includes a primer on how to write a python script to process multiple structures:

<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/basicPrimer.html>

It is better to send Chimera questions to chimera-users at cgl.ucsf.edu (or if advanced programming issues, to chimera-dev at cgl.ucsf.edu) instead of to me directly.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
