DENCITY celebrates MADRAS City day

Madras Day is widely celebrated on August 22 to commemorate the foundation of the city Madras (now Chennai). On this day in 1639, East India Company's administrators Francis Day and Andrew Cogan made a deal with the viceroy of Vijayanagar Empire to acquire the land of Madras, which today is known as Chennai. Madras day serves as a platform for both locals and visitors to explore Chennai's hidden gems - from iconic landmarks like Marina Beach and Fort St. George to lesser-known historical sites like Santhome Basilica or Kalakshetra Foundation. It acts as a catalyst for cultural exchange by promoting dialogue between different communities residing in Chennai.
