Welcome to Chennai, the vibrant capital of Tamil Nadu, where ancient traditions seamlessly blend with bustling modernity along the Coromandel Coast. Formerly known as Madras, this sprawling metropolis is a fascinating gateway to the rich Dravidian culture of Southern India. Chennai pulses with energy, offering a captivating mix of magnificent temples, colonial-era architecture, a thriving classical arts scene, sun-drenched beaches, and arguably some of the most delicious South Indian cuisine you’ll ever taste.
Beyond being a major urban centre, Chennai retains a distinct charm and a deep connection to its heritage. Explore the colourful streets of Mylapore surrounding the stunning Kapaleeshwarar Temple, walk the historic ramparts of Fort St. George, witness the energy of Marina Beach (one of the world’s longest urban beaches), and immerse yourself in the soul-stirring rhythms of Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam dance. For those seeking culture, history, spirituality, and authentic flavours, Chennai is an essential South Indian experience.
