Chennai
Capital of the south-eastern state of Tamil Nadu, Chennai
is one of the four major metropolitan cities in India. Retaining much of
its traditional charm, this 350 year old city is the gateway to the south,
providing many a fascinating vignette of southern heritage. Chennai was
the first British major settlement in India. In the city, one cannot
fail to notice the dominant British influences in the form of old
Cathedrals, buildings in the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture and wide
tree lined avenues. Chennai has a number of attractions for the tourists
to see. One of them is the beautiful Marina beach, where the blue waters
of the Bay of Bengal mingle with the golden sands. The city also has its
share of forts and palaces reminding the tourists the glory of bygone
eras. Best time to visit November to February.
