I read your comment 20 days ago and decided to research more into these historical sites. I decided to visit Tanjore to check out the Chola Temples and was in complete awe. The tour guide even told me that the Cholas were one of the reasons as to why Tamil is one of the important languages in Malaysia and Singapore! The driver realized I was quite interested in the history of the kingdom and recommended me to watch a few recently released two-part film about the Cholas. Loved it!

Chennai, along with BLR, is one of the highlights in this trip. I will forever cherish the cup of the local Madras Filter Coffee!
