A real look at Chennai the auto hub of India

In attempt to boost tourism, I think we, as the indigenes of the various towns and cities of interest, have a great role to play. We need to be worthy ambassadors of our various towns and cities, in order to sell out to foreigners the good our towns and cities have to offer as tourist centers. In view of this, my quota is contributed through this write-up for my city Chennai. Chennai, also known as Madras or Madrasapatinam, happens to be the proud capital city of Tamil Nadu. It is the fifth most populous city in India. There is some history behind the name Chennai. It is actually the crisp form of the town Chennaipattinam, and the origin of the nomenclature of Chennai is subject to two schools of thought. The first has it that, the English, in 1939, acquired the town Chennaipattinam which was named after Damaria Chennappa Nayakudu. The second has it that the word chenni means face, and Chennaipattinam was named after the Chenna Kesava Perumal Temple, regarded as the face of the city. Chennai is known for its sandy beaches, historic monuments, splendiferous sculptures and bustling parks. In the days of old, the city used to be ruled by the renowned south Indian dynasties, namely the Pallava, Chera, Chola, Pandya and Vijaynagara. Chennai is deeply in love with music, arts and culture. It is renowned for its classical dance and exuberant temples. The native language spoken is Tamil. As a die-hard cricket loving city, Chennai hosts the M A Chidambaram stadium, which is a renowned cricket stadium. Chennai has twice been the champions of the Indian Premier League. The people of Chennai are well noted for their immense passion for Tamil movies. They have a high display of affection for their supersonic icons like Rajinikanth, Mani, Ratman, S Shankar, Kaamal Hassan, to mention but a few. The most important festival that can be found at Chennai is Pongal; this festival is, indeed, celebrated on a large scale. The sumptuous mouth-watering delicacies you are going to set eye on are Pongal, Dosa, Idli and Vadal, served with steaming hot Filter Coffee.
