OVERVIEW
Situated on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, Chennai (formerly known as Madras) is a bustling city known for its spaciousness. This can be noticed in the long walkway called the Marina featuring spectacular buildings with a British influence.
Chennai is a city which has managed to blend the foreign influence with the traditional Tamil-Hindu culture.
Some of Chennai's main attractions include Kapaleeswarar, an ancient Shiva temple; Sri Parthasarathy Temple, dedicated to Lord Krishna; the Santhome Cathedral, built in 1504; and Fort St. George, first bastion of the British power in India.
Mount Road features several retail outlets for traditional handicrafts and handlooms from the south. Shopping centres include Alsa Mall on Montieth Road in Egmore, Spencer Plaza on Mount Road, Prince Plaza on Pantheon Road, the Nilgiris and Chintamani.
The best place to buy traditional bell metal items, bronze icons, and stone sculpture is the Tamil Nadu State Emporia Poompuhar.
