Chennai/Madras 1
Chennai is a major city of over six
million, India's 4th largest metropolis.
It has its share of propserous new-age companies and flashy structures.
It
also offers some historic venues such as the Fort St. George built by the
British East India Company in 1653,
now a legislative compound and a museum.
Enclosed in the area is St. Mary's church with carved gravestones in the
floor.
The red-brick high court is a marvel of Indo-Sarcenic architecture
build in 1892.
It houses 47 courtrooms attended by several thousand registered
lawyers.
Along the sea coast on the Bay of Bengal are a huge shipping port,
long sandy beaches and a dramatic memorial
to the famous independence leader
Perarignar Anna.
For Christians, Chennai is also a place of pilgrimage as the
burial place of the apostle St. Thomas
marked by a white gothic basilica
built above the catacomb.
