Chennai

Chennai combines the energy of a major South Indian metropolis with the steady presence of the Bay of Bengal, reflecting its position on Tamil Nadu’s Coromandel Coast. As the state capital, it is a leading centre for administration, industry, education and Tamil-language culture. Fort St. George, established by the English East India Company in 1644, marks an early chapter in the city’s colonial history and now houses the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. Along the shore, Marina Beach forms a long public frontage, while Mylapore’s Kapaleeshwarar Temple remains an important focus of Hindu worship. Chennai is also closely associated with Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam, especially during its annual December music season.
