Chennai
Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, is India's fourth-largest city and one of its most culturally vibrant metropolises. Known as the 'Gateway to South India', the city stretches along a long sandy coastline on the Bay of Bengal. Chennai seamlessly blends colonial heritage, Dravidian culture, classical music and dance, a thriving film industry (Kollywood), and a robust IT sector. Its cuisine — from idli-dosa breakfast to Chettinad specials — is legendary across the country.
