Marina Beach

The 13-kilometre stretch that forms a large part of Chennai's coastline was devastated due to high tides, leaving sand everywhere.

IIT Madras

A centre for excellence, innovation and home to much greenery, the campus is now strewn with branches and trees everywhere.

Madhya Kailash

Located at a busy traffic intersection in Adyar, the Madhya Kailash temple has been a landmark destination. The bus stop outside the temple is almost in tatters thanks to cyclone Vardah.

MRTS

One of the city's public transport systems, MRTS stations were considered swanky and clean. Now, parts of the roof at many stations have been ripped apart.

TCS Siruseri

The Tata Consultancy Services campus at Siruseri boasted of manicured lawns, and a shiny glass-and-chrome complex. What lies now is barely a remnant of those lawns.
