Chennai

(Tamil Nadu)


South?s Cultural Capital

Rustle of silk, whiff of jasmine, crowded market streets, big malls, and even bigger cutouts of politicians and film stars. Welcome to Chennai, land of the Dravidians! The fourth largest metropolis in India! Forever vibrant, life goes at a sticky bustling pace. Friendly people, steaming idlis and dosas, honking and music blaring auto rickshaws, busy walkways, East Coast Road, beach house parties, the infamous smell of the Coom river. Formerly known as Madras, Chennai captivates everyone who comes her way.
