Madras(now its is called "Chennai") is the capital of Tamil Nadu state.Its gateway to South of India.Its coastal city ,famous for Carnatic music and Barata Natyam classical dance.
From Madras no place is very too far,other places in the state is well connected by road,rail&air.
Near Madras are two heritage places ,the Pallava Dynasty old capital Kanchipuram and Pallava Port town Mamallapuram.
Best time to visit Madras is November to Feb.
