Capital of the
south-eastern state of Tamil Nadu, Chennai is one of the
four major metropolitan cities in India. Today, it is hard
to believe that a place that was till 1639 just a small fishing
village would become such an enormous and beautiful city.
Situated on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, Chennai is perhaps
the most peaceful and green metropolis in India. Chennai
has a number of attractions for the tourists to see. One
of them is the beautiful Marina beach, where
the blue waters of the Bay of Bengal mingle with the golden
sands. The city also has its share of forts and palaces reminding
the tourists the glory of bygone eras.
