Lighthouse - Chennai






























I found a coincidence in having Kamarajar statue near to the lighthouse, anyone can write a good caption for the above picture ? 

Most of the films show light house as haunted one, this is not, because as-usual it is full of people. 

For getting up into the top of the lighthouse the entrance fee is 10.00 for adults and 5.00 for children. If you don't want to go to the top, you can also visit a small museum in the basement, there is a separate ticket for it 10/5. For foreigners it is 25.00, I don't understand the principle (principal, headmaster...) behind this ? It will be great, if someone can explain. 

Timings 9:00 to 5:00 PM, no holidays.

Being pongal holidays, it was a rush, we could hardly spend 2 - 3 mins in the top. As we are experienced with so many high rises the city view didn't amaze me, but the sea looked terrific, kind of misty as we cant see the horizon.

They provide lift (OK.. escalator..happy!), there is no extra charge for it. It's FREE!!. So you can take your elder ones too.

I would suggest, if you can climb it using steps, then you will get the wow effect in the top.
