From the bustling streets of George Town to the serene Marina Beach, the Rove of Madras is a visual and sensory delight that captures the city’s essence with metaphorical references. Through its contemporary approach to storytelling, the Rove of Madras offers a unique experience for visitors to connect with the past and present of this vibrant city.
