Chennai is a captivating place replete with intriguing museums, ornate temples, and tasty South Indian cuisine. Though this city may not be as high profile as Mumbai or New Delhi, it’s worth investigating. Situated in southeastern India on the beautiful Bay of Bengal, this city offers compelling sights. If you’re a beach fan, head to Marina Beach, which is the second-lengthiest city beach on the Earth! Kapaleeshwarar Temple is the place to marvel at India’s past, with delicately carved and colourfully painted figurines adorning the structure. Ready to explore Chennai and lodge in an unusual space?
