Things to do in Chennai

Kapaleeswarar Temple (or Kapaleeshwara)

Kapaleeswarar Temple is one of Chennai's oldest and best-known temples. It was first built in 8th century and then multiple additions were made to it until 17th century. A glorious signature of Dravidian architecture, this temple is dedicated to Goddess Parvati and is thus known as Karpagambal (Tamil term for the ‘Goddess of the Wish-Yielding Tree’). An impossible to miss architectural highlight in it is its 121 feet high entrance gate called gopuram that is decorated for Thaipusam festival in January.

Marina Beach

At 7.45 mile in length, Chennai’s Marina Beach is the second longest urban beach in the world. It is visited by city’s residents during early morning, late evenings and on weekends- and watching a sunrise or sunset here is often a favorite pastime for many. The beachside ambiance flaunts several colonial era buildings and a routine sight of several people eating local snacks made of boiled and spiced lentils and dry noodles.
