Crowded markets, chaotic traffic, and noisy hawkers.
Majestic buildings, mesmerizing history, and vivid images.
A pulse of any city is in its markets. Join Storytrails as we take you through one such market place in Chennai; to streets teeming with life and spilling over with colour, noise and exuberance. This former Black Town of Madras is now a bustling wholesale market. A visit to the heart of George Town is an experience you won’t forget in a hurry.
A market place where practically anything that can be legally sold can be bought for the right price. Assorted nuts, aromatic spices or exotic snuff, or simply dusters, buckets and screwdrivers!
Join us and let our stories walk you through the bylanes, where history, mythology and folklore intertwine to give you a glimpse of the living India.
Come, and be lost in a riot of colour and chaos!
