CHENNAI (MADRAS), TAMIL NADU

The capital of Tamil Nadu, Chennai is one of the major metros of India. A wealth of well-maintained museums, historic churches and temples. Plenty of arty entertainment for those idle evenings.

The name change from Madras to Chennai belies the character of this southern metro. Now noisy and fraught with every feature of a big city, Chennai still retains a certain traditional charm. Shored along the Bay of Bengal, "the gateway to the South", Chennai has evolved from a tiny fishing village to the country's fourth-largest metro. Film is a roaring industry here, backed by some of India's best directors, actors and technicians.
