Chennai earlier known as Madras is a wonderful
amalgam of temples, churchyards, shopping
areas. The vast sandy stretch of the
Marina Beach, fringed with palms and
casuarinas, is ideal for long stroll
and picnics. The British influence
goes back to the mid-17th century,
when they began building Fort St.
George. Today, it houses the Secretariat
and the Legislative Assembly of Tamil
Nadu. Inside the fort, many ancient
buildings still stand, including St.
Mary's Church, which was consecrated
in 1680. It is India's oldest surviving
British construction... |
