Overview

Chennai is located by the Bay of Bengal, exuding the charm of a coastal city blended with the traditional essence of South India. As dawn breaks, soft pink light filters through the ancient tiled roofs, temples, and the waters of Adyar or Cooum, creating a sense of tranquility yet full of life. Along the coastline, famous stretches of sand like Marina Beach continue with the gentle waves and the refreshing sound of the breeze. In the old town, the fragrance of jasmine, Carnatic music, and red brick architecture blend together to create a culturally rich atmosphere. As dusk falls, golden light bathes the sea, temple rooftops, and streets, making Chennai appear to don a warm cloak amidst the rhythm of modern and traditional life.
