About Chennai
Chennai is a metropolitan city in Southern India. Though it was initially developed by the British East India Company as Madras, it gained identity as the cultural capital of India post-independence. Much of it can be attributed when in 1882, the headquarters of the Theosophical Society and its movement was moved to Madras by H. P Blavatsky. During the month of December, the city is a global sensation, as the Madras Margazhi Festival, the longest Music and Dance Festival in the world is organised. Mahabalipuram, the ancient port city located on the Coromandel coast, is a UNESCO heritage destination making Chennai the appropriate location for The Beauty Path.
