Cholamandalam Artists' Village on the East Coast Road (ECR) is about 8 km south of Chennai city and is definitely worth a stopover if you are into art and culture.

Cholamandalam is today a dynamic space where art is created on an enduring basis. Whether it is classical or contemporary art, this artists’ village offers a platform to all strains of art.
There is a lovely, airy open-air theater which serves as a platform for performing arts, be it theater, dance or even poetry readings.
