Overview

Chennai, previously known as Madras, was the capital of the Southern British India. Numerous incredible landmarks were worked during the British rule and a few of them keep on overwhelming the horizon of Chennai even today. In this strolling visit, we will visit a portion of the unmistakable milestones of Chennai, which were worked during the British time in an engineering style mixing British as well as Indian components. We will begin at the Central Railway Station and stroll to Ripon Building, Southern Railway Headquarters, Victory Memorial, Fort St George, Naper Bridge and finish at Madras University building.

Itinerary

  • Ripon Building

    Designed by G.S.T. Harris. and built by Loganatha Mudaliar, the Ripon building is named after Lord Ripon, a Governor-General of British India who was famously known as the father of local self-government in Chennai. Today this building is the office of Mayor of Chennai.

  • Chennai Central Railway Station

    Today, this station handles more than 350000 passengers every day. The Central Railway Station was built in 1873 in Gothic Revival style by British architect George Harding. It was modified by Robert Chisholm who added the central clock tower and Travancore caps on the main towers.

    The Victory War Memorial, formerly called the Cupid’s bow, is a memorial constructed to commemorate the victory of the Allied Armies during World War I (1914–1918).
