I was really looking forward to my Chennai tour for my vacations this year. Chennai the capital of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu is located on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal. It being the fourth largest metropolitan city in India has a renowned history of being the urban centre and naval base of British colonizers. Formerly known as Madras the city has developed a broad industrial base in the automobile, technology, hardware manufacturing and healthcare industries as well.
The city has emerged from a fishing village that lay to the north of Fort St. George and was officially renamed as Chennai in 1996. The city has served as an important administrative, military and economic centre and has a history of being dynasty of various renowned rulers of Southern India and hence, the city owns numerous historical tour sites which are still cherished as the emblem of the foregone era.
