Chennai is the capital of the southeastern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is one of the most densely populated cities in the country. It is a cosmopolitan city that has had an important role in the historical, cultural and intellectual development of India. The city is brimming with interesting architecture, and avenues for music, drama, dance, sculpture as well as other arts and crafts. A few interesting places to visit include Marina Beach which is India’s longest, and world’s second longest beach. It spans a whopping 12 km (7.5 miles) from Besant Nagar to Fort St. George. It is perfect for sunrise or sunset walks, and at night, it is filled with stalls that sell various items. The Government Museum is another fascinating place to visit. It is the second oldest museum in India and consists of 6 independent buildings with 46 galleries about history, animals, botany, and philately. Fort St. George is a stronghold that stood strong through several attacks and is now the administrative seat of the legislative assembly of the state.
