June 22, 2022 by kevinwilkerson Leave a Comment

The cultural capital of India

Chennai, formerly known as Madras, is the capital of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Chennai’s attractions and natural beauty contribute to its popularity. Many tourist attractions, historical buildings, and temples exist in the city to attract travel enthusiasts.

Chennai is well-known for its historical and cultural history among visitors and vacationers from all over the globe. Travelers may discover some of the greatest sites to visit in Chennai, although the city is well renowned for its seashores, stunning scenery, and soothing atmosphere. Its spiritual and cultural attractions include historic structures and temples, which travelers will enjoy discovering.

How to reach Chennai from Dubai

Every year, large numbers of local and international vacationers come to Chennai, which is situated on India’s Coromandel Coast. The city’s excellent transport network, which connects it to the rest of the nation, adds to the convenience of its visitors. Chennai also boasts an international airport that acts as the primary entrance point for flights from all around India as well as all of the world’s major destinations.

If you are planning to visit Chennai and looking to book a Dubai to Chennai flight ticket, you should start preparing for the same and check the airfares to get the best deals. You must plan your itinerary well in advance to avoid rush bookings and save a lot of bucks.

Activities you can plan for your trip to Chennai:

1.) The majestic Kapaleeswarar Temple is a must-see.

Malayapur, a suburb of Chennai, is home to the Kapaleeswarar Temple. Lord Shiva and Parvati are worshiped at this temple. Karpagumble is the name given to Parvati at this temple. Kaplum and Eshwar are honored in the Kapaleeswarar Temple in Chennai. Kaplum means head, whereas Eshwar is Lord Shiva’s second name.

The Pallava rulers are said to have erected the Kapaleeswarar Temple in Chennai about the seventh century. The temple’s architectural style is closely tied to Dravidian architecture. You can experience the religious traditions of Tamil Nadu as well as the towering Gopurams when you explore the Kapaleeswarar temple in Chennai. A holy tank may be seen on the temple’s western side.

2.) Enjoy the Magnificent Marina Beach with your folks

Marina Beach is a natural, urban beach that is part of the Indian Ocean and located along the Bay of Bengal. The beach is located in Chennai, India, and stretches between Fort St. George in the north to Besant Nagar in the south. It is renowned for being the country’s longest natural urban beach and the world’s second biggest. The beach is mostly sandy and has a pleasant and friendly ambiance for guests, with an approximate width of about 300 meters.

Even though bathing and swimming in the seas are forbidden by law owing to the deadly undercurrents, the many people who walk there regularly are not discouraged.

3.) Experience Ripon Building’s splendor

The majestic Ripon building is one of the greatest representations of the neoclassical style of architecture, which incorporates Gothic, Ionic, and Corinthian forms. This is one of Chennai’s most extraordinary landmarks. The Chennai Corporation now has its headquarters in this facility. It was developed by G.S.T Harris and was commissioned in 1933. It stands close to the Chennai Central Railway Station and is all white.

The incredible structure has a rectangular form, a 43-meter-high tower, and a 2.5-meter-high clock on its front wall. It is also known as the Westminster Chiming Clock and is the building’s principal attraction. The tower is categorized as a historic construction, which fascinates visitors and makes touring the building a must-do activity in Chennai.

4.) Seek blessings at the Varadaraja Temple

The Varadaraja Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is one of the Divya Desams, Lord Vishnu’s 108 temples, which are said to have been attended by 12 renowned poet-saints. This temple covers a total of 23 acres. It is also said to have been erected by Pallava King Nandivarman and then enlarged during the Cholas’ rule.

The temple is situated in Kanchipuram’s suburbs, which are already home to several well-known Vishnu temples. For Lord Vishnu Devotees, though, this is one of the holiest places on the planet. The 9-day Rama Navmi festival is one of the temple’s most well-known attractions. The temple is one of Chennai’s most popular tourist attractions, with its gorgeous architecture, stunning murals, spectacular paintings, and vibrant colors. Visiting the temple during Ram Navmi is one of the main activities to do in Chennai.

5.) Take a look around the ancient Senate House

Senate House, designed by Robert Fellowes Chisholm and located on the premises of the University of Madras near Marina Beach, is an architectural masterpiece. The Senate House is a combination of Indo-Saracenic and Byzantine architecture built between 1869 and 1873.

Six massive pillars support the Senate House’s massive Central Hall. The Senate House has two doors, one on the northern side and the other on the southern side. The Senate House has domes on each side that are artistically carved and colored. Senate House, a former milestone in Chennai, held certain university departments as well as the Vice-and Chancellor’s Registrar’s offices at the University of Madras.

6.) Check out Christ the King Church, which is very remarkable

The Christ the King Church, situated in the heart of the Loyola College Campus, is one of the most spectacular Gothic structures in the city. It is a magnificent structure in Tamil Nadu’s capital city. A French Clergyman commissioned the building, although it was built by an Indian architect. The church is a wonderful sight to see, with its ribbed vaults, rose panes, lovely stained glass windows, and elegant pointed arches.

The construction features a spire that rises 157 feet high and occupies an area of 150 feet by 60 feet. Every day, a regular mass including students and others from the surrounding region is held. Aside from members of the Christian community, the Church attracts tourists who come to see the Gothic architecture, paintings, and other unusual constructions.

7.) Vivekanandar Illam is also a must-see destination

The Vivekananda House, also known as the Vivekanandar Illam, has been connected with Sri Ramakrishna Math since Swami Vivekanada’s victorious arrival from the west. It is an important symbol of Chennai city and Chennai tourists. The tower resembles a pilgrimage center for Swami Vivekananda’s followers.

The Illam is a source of divine feeling and motivation for thousands of visitors each year. The location presently displays a permanent art show on Indian culture and Swami Vivekananda’s life in various aspects. It’s a terrific location to learn more about Swamiji and its purpose, as well as enjoy some peace in the middle of Chennai’s chaos.
