The diverse population of Chennai (Madras) is reflected in its rich cultural scene. You’ll find serious theatre as well as the glitz and glamour of Kollywood. Chennai is also an important center for the Bharatanatyam, a local form of classical dance. Visit in January, for the festival of Pongal, or in April, when Chennai celebrates its new year.

Kamakshi Amman Temple

Although this temple was built in the 7th century and rebuilt in the 14th, it's not very historical.

I have been visiting Mangadu Kamakshi Amman temple since 1979. I go there on a Thursday, when I am in Chennai. Either using a hire car or Ola, it is an easy access and takes around 30 minutes to reach there from Adyar - early in the morning. it is a beautiful temple arranged in a traditional way - but I believe it gets crowded on special days with separate queues. I usually go there when it is quiet and am able to appreciate the inner sanctum sanctorum and the outer areas (to walk around). I am especially enamored by the Brass metal figurine of Amman standing on one leg and conducting penance. She signifies strength, perseverance and determination to me.

St George's Cathedral

Reviewed By andrewssmalacca - Melaka, Malaysia

A divine presence could be felt in this campus. A hidden historical place more important than the St. George Fort, and a long big tradition lives here. I dont know how many of the parishioners from present congregation knows the history and tradition. The cemetery in the campus shows the poor administration by the diocese . A must visit in Chennai.

National Art Gallery

Tenth century paintings, religious statues and relics occupy one building while the other contains mostly modern works.

Reviewed By Travelbug291 - Bribie Island, Australia

A somewhat confusing place if you didn't have a guide to direct you. Several galleries, the most fascinating of which was the Bronze Statue Gallery. Interesting to see the same deities interpreted from different ages. Photography is limited in some areas which is disappointing.
