Chennai is a journey into timeless India, a kaleidoscope of moods. Rich in the treasures of history, from temples and shrines to forts and palaces, the landscape of the past lives easily with the present. Chennai is the fourth largest city in India, and the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu. Retaining much of it’s traditional charm, this city is the gateway to the south. Chennai is the cradle of Bharata Natyam, the Indian Classical dance that is the embodiment of grace and beauty.
