Marina beach                         




Starts your morning with a walk on Marina Beach, which is actually one of the longest beach in the country.

Morning and evening perheps are the only time you can spend there, but because at the evening I have other plans.

The Kapaleeshwarar Temple

After lunch its time head out towards one of the ancient temple in the country.
The temple priests perform the pooja during festivals and on a daily basis.
Like other Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the Shaivaite community, a Brahmin sub-caste.


    
Connemara Public Library


Its great to be here in this library.It is comnstructed inlate 19th century. When youwill come here you will see a treasure house of centuries-old publications. With a collection of over 6,00,000 books. Its one the Asia's largest libraries.

Guindy National Park

                                                        The evening went with the animals. The only national park situated in the middle of the city.You must visit here once to see about 40 types of birds,spotted deer,jackals,tortoise, and the likes.The snake park is home to cobra and pythones.This will be one of the best few places to visit in Chennai with family where every member will enjoy experience thoroughly.
                                                                                                     




And the day gets over after doing dinner and packed my bag to visit one the best place in Tamil Nadu , Pondicherry.
