Chennai
Chennai
is a gracious city that has a clear skyline, long sandy beaches, parks, historic
landmarks and tourist infrastructural facilities which make it a convenient
entry point or base to start your tour of Tamil Nadu and South India. Where
religion is concerned, history has certainly left its mark on this city which
is believed to have been the place of St. Thomas, in the outskirt of the city.
There are a number of churches in Chennai that are connected with the life and
times of this apostle. There are also several ancient temples around Chennai,
and, within the city itself are two magnificent temples - a temple in Triplicane
and another in Mylapore.
Chennai
is a city where the traditional and the modern blend in life everywhere. From
traditional vegetarian fair to fast foods, from nine-yard sarees to the latest
in fashion, from ancient temple architecture to modern high-rise - with Indo-Saracenic
and Victorian as stops along the way - from classical music and dance to discos
throbbing to heady beats, Chennai has them all and many more vivid contrasts
that are a pleasant surprise. And perhaps the most striking of them all is that
here is a modern metropolis with beaches, parks and even sanctuaries in the
heart of the City. Chennai offers a wealth of nature and a rich historic past
to visitors in the ambience of a city with every modern facility.
