The state of Tamil Nadu is located in southern India, and its capital is Chennai. The urbanized area of Chennai is the most populous in southern India and the fourth most populous in all of India, with a population of 8.6 million (2011 census). It is located on India's subcontinental east coast. In addition to being a starting point for tours to the Hindu temples of Kanchipuram, Sriperumbudur, and Tirupati, the bird sanctuary of Vedanthangal, and the Pondicherry ashram, Chennai is also well-connected by road, rail, and air.
May is particularly hot and humid in Chennai, and the monsoon season brings torrential rains (July to November). If possible, avoid the hottest months of the year by traveling between November and February. What is now Chennai was ruled by the Three Crowned Kings (the Cholas, Chera, and Pandya dynasties) for the majority of its history. This coastal site has been inhabited since the Stone Age. It was governed by the Vijayanagara Empire in the Middle Ages. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Christianity, is connected to Chennai. He is thought to have traveled to India to evangelize before passing away in Mylapore, a current Chennai neighborhood.
With culture very different from that of the other major cities in the nation, Chennai has served as the entrance to Southern India for centuries. At its core, Tamil culture and tradition honor beauty. Its dance, sculpture, and clothing all show this. Compared to the rest of Tamil Nadu, Chennai has a more diverse population. Here, the traditional dance, music, and art of Tamil Nadu flourish. The cuisine combines fast food, traditional foods, and filtered coffee distinctively. Ancient temples, colonial structures, and skyscrapers from the twenty-first century are among the architectural styles. In Chennai, both Western and Indian classical music is in vogue, and there is also a thriving nightlife. There are dance schools that teach everything from Salsa to the traditional Bharatnatyam.
Almost everywhere has music schools where you can learn how to play the veena, violin, guitar, or drums. During the height of the music festival in December through January, Chennai displays its traditional heritage. The majority of locals dress conservatively by Western standards, but the younger generation favors more modern attire. The primary food in the city, as in the majority of Southern India, is rice. There are many vegetarian and non-vegetarian delicacies available in Chennai. Tamil Nadu-wide use of condiments, herbs, and spices gives Chennai cuisine its distinctive flavor. In almost every vegetarian recipe, tamarind, coconut, and asafoetida are necessary ingredients. When cooking, refined gingelly oil is frequently chosen as the primary oil. Meals are enhanced in flavor by the addition of chutney and blends of spices.
Typical lunch in Chennai consists of rice along with a variety of dishes like sambar (a thin lentil curry), chutney, rasam (a pepper and tamarind broth), and yogurt/curd. Lunches that are not vegetarian may be made with chicken, fish, or mutton. A Tamil meal requires the accompaniment of appalams (papadums). Chettinad cuisine is distinctive from other cuisines in Chennai. The best-known meat dish in the country is probably Chettinad Pepper Chicken. The food is scrumptious, hot, and spicier than hot. The paya (a spiced trotter's broth) and biryani are examples of Mughalai food with a Chennai twist.If you are looking for family hotels or budget hotels in Chennai, Ginger Hotel is the best option.
