Chennai (madras) is the capital of the southern Indian state of Tamil nadu. Chennai has been the gateway to Southern India, with a vastly different culture from the other big cities of the country.
Tamil culture and tradition at its core celebrates beauty. This is revealed in its dance, sculpture and clothing. Chennai's demographics show a more diverse population than the rest of Tamil Nadu. The traditional art forms, music, dance of Tamil Nadu thrive here. The cuisine uniquely blends traditional foods, fast food and filter coffee. The architecture varies from age-old temples, to colonial buildings and twenty-first century skyscrapers. Tamil is the most widely spoken language in the city and is the official language of the state of Tamil Nadu.
However, English, is well-understood and considerably well known in the city, with most of the well-educated upper class being fluent in English Chennai is well-connected by road, rail and air and is a staging point for tours to the 7th century Pallava temple of Mahabalipuram, an UNESCO World Heritage site, the Hindu temples of kanchipuram, sriperumbudur, and Tirupat, the bird sanctuary of Vedanthangal and the Pondicherry ashram.
Chennai has an extremely hot and humid climate—especially in the month of May, and has heavy rains during monsoons (July to November).
The worst of the heat can be avoided by visiting from November to February.
