About Chennai
Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, stretches along the Bay of Bengal with Marina Beach, one of the longest urban beaches in the world. The city is a major hub for India's automobile industry, IT services corridor along Old Mahabalipuram Road, and classical arts including Bharatanatyam and Carnatic music. From the historic Kapaleeshwarar Temple in Mylapore to the bustling T. Nagar shopping district, Chennai blends tradition with rapid modernization.
About Tenkasi
Tenkasi is best known for Courtallam (Kutralam), celebrated as the "Spa of South India" for its medicinal waterfalls enriched with herbs from the Western Ghats forests. The Kasi Viswanathar Temple, built by the Pandya kings in the 15th century, gives the town its name, meaning "Kasi of the South." Separated from Tirunelveli as a new district in 2019, Tenkasi's lush green landscape and waterfall season (June to November) attract visitors from across the country.
