Fabulously Lost in Chennai

Adventures in a ‘contemporarily’ traditional India

Silks, cottons and all colors of the rainbow

Chennai, formerly known as Madras, is a refreshingly modern city that has retained its traditional appeal. Like so many contrasting things in India, this East coast Bay of Bengal facing city is full of unexpected surprises, from quality goods, to hip eateries and local charm of a welcoming Tamil Nadu people. Take a fabulously adventurous walk along the busy promenade on Elliot beach, or do some affordable shopping with quality local brands. It’s fun, it’s safe and above all its fabulous!
