Reputed as the gateway to South India, Chennai is also
a major center for architectural heritage and culture.
Its rich and vibrant traditions of music and dance crafts
have retained their pristine beauty and that makes it
a city with immense charm. It is also known as the land
of Bharat Natyam, which is one of the most popular classical
Indian dance styles.
Major places of tourist attraction include Fort St.
George, St. Mary's Church, Government Museum and Santhome
Cathedral- a place where the remains of St. Thomas
were kept. Other places that deserve more than a brief
visit include Kapaleeswarar Temple, Anna Zoological
Park and Marine Beach - the most prominent feature
of Chennai and the second longest Beach in the world.
