We visited this place during out tour. It is inspiring place. we were told that Vivekanand swami stayed there for few days . He also used to to do meditation in that room. Very very peaceful place. One can learn many great things about him. It is worth seeing this place and spend some time in that peaceful place.

If any one visit Chennai, the first attraction comes to mind is Marina beach. MGR memorial is located in Marina beach. It was built in the memory of former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu state, M. G. Ramachandran, popularly known as MGR. The memorial is located adjacent to the Anna Memorial built for another former Chief Minister of Tamilnadu, C.N.Anna Durai. In the last two years two more memorials have been planned to come up at this site for two former Chief Ministers of Tamilnadu, namely, J Jayalalitha and M. Karunanithi. Anyone visiting the Marina beach will have to see these memorials. There are people from various parts of Tamil nadu state who visit the beach especially to offer prayer at these memorials.

A testament to the earliest English rule in the country, this was the first fortress in India built in 1644. The fort houses St. Mary’s Church, the oldest Anglican church in the country, a museum and Wellesley House, named after Richard Wellesley, governor general of India. Until recently the fort complex served as housing for the government; now certain areas are open to public.

At least they are maintaining a bit of very important History. Located in a secure Government area so your driver has to wait outside, if you have one. One of the first British Forts in India & played a very important role in the Colonial rule. The museum is closed one day a week, so do check. Behind it is a local cafe & a nice little shop selling all kinds of cotton products at ridiculously low prices.
