Another of India’s cities that have changed their names, Chennai (formerly madras), is the largest city in the south. Situated on the Bay of Bengal, its importance dates back to colonial times, when the British east India Company established a presence there. Today it is still the gateway to the south, a convenient entry point or base to start a tour of Tamil Nadu and south India. Chennai also has plenty of attractions of its own: long sandy beaches, parks, historic landmarks and excellent tourist facilities.
