Dr. MGR Memorial was one of the unique memorials situated near marina beach. It features the memorial of Dr. Ramchandra and Jayalalitha. The architecture is just amazing.

There are numerous shops outside selling various stuff ranging from eatery to handmade goods. It has also a museum built inside but as of now, it is closed.

Nice place to visit in the evening because in the day time it's very hot. No entry pass were taken. Just near Marina beach.. Walking distance. Overall it was good. Also good for photography

Nice place to enjoy the beach and around. There are lot of small shops and even restroom. Police is also present to keep a watch which is really a good thing. Evening are better as during the evening its looks amazing.

It's a good place to go around. Peaceful atmosphere. It's a memorial for Mr MGR, greatest film actor and politician. And his wife Mrs Jayalalitha.

A must visitable place near marina beach. It is a monument on the honour of the former chief minister Mr. MGR. It also has a museum. The place is too beautiful and well maintained. At evening it has another types of beauty. But there is a usual crowd on daily basis. From entrance to the monument it has its beauty. At night its own colourful lights make it more charming and beautiful. Must visit this place before or after enjoying the beauty of Maria beach.

Nice place to visit. It is adjacent to Marina beach. On Saturdays and Sundays the place is crowded. The architecture is beautiful. The place is covered with greens. You can start walking from here to Marina beach and Gandhi beach. Connectivity is excellent.

Really love this place. Because everyone visit marina definitely should go to see MGR Memorial place. It's wonderful places to go back see their memories. This is the first time I have visited that place. Really crowded. Lots of people love this place to see their memories and took the photos.

I went to Marina Beach and not to Memorial. So my reviews is only for Marina Beach This beach is good for a walk with your friends and family. Lots of small shops and vendors along with Horse and bike rides and small fair for kids. Great place to spend quality time with loved ones. But, people doesn't take care of such places. They treat such places as dustbins. In the beach, you can find alcohol bottles, popcorn plastics and many more. I also found kid's diaper as well. Anyways, its comments regarding beach and not for any complain :) You have to cross the 300-400 meter SAND area to touch the water but its pleasant to walk on the sand. Police was also there for security purpose.

Nice place near Marina beach ...it is memorial of famous Tamil actor.... public transport available from Railway station to this place

This place so beautiful and nicely gardening, many people visited here. There is memorial of MGR and Jayalalithaa. Very neat and clean, pleasent one,, emotional place to tamilains. You can see museum there.

The place is beautiful, especially the entrance... The premises are under construction so visitors weren't allowed in.. But you can always take a stroll in the beach that is right next to it... The Marina Beach is a 10 km stretch, so you can start walking from an end and reach the other, if you love walking.. Besides, the beach is huge and has a wonderful aura.... If anyone comes to Chennai, then this is a must visit place.... This should be at the top of priority list, as this is early accessible and nearer to the city centre... There is a crowd here always and you can get a lot of fast food restaurants, in case you wish to grab a bite.. Highly Recommended

MGR memorial is a memorial structure built on the Marina beach in Chennai, India. It was built in memory of former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M. G. Ramachandran. The architecture is so nice. The place is neat and clean and well maintained by the officials.

Very Nice place in Chennai, Near Marina Beach. So so Happy to visit here.

former chief minister watch is still running , as believe the MGR lovers. peoples try to hearing on top of the tomb. .... How it's possible....😁😁😁 Don't forget to see... Iron lady taking rest behind the MGR

The museum shows the culture and human history. This includes sculptures, painting, weapons, collection of coins as well as stamps used during that era. From the very first site to the last was amazing and any one who is visiting should spent atleast 3-4 hrs to collection they have. They divided into 6 sections.The bronze sculptures made my mind more delighted.One of the palace was under renovation during my visit. Overall, the museum gave me a nice treat for my mind as well as for eyes.

One of the ancient memorials situated near Marina beach. Seeing this much crowd after ages. Located adjacent to Anna memorial. This place reminds the memories of Dr. MGR and Jayalalitha and also the crowd shows how they both are loved by the people.

It's been years to see this much of crowd. Nice place and the infrastructure of the memorial is really good. If anyone visits the place you can try kulfi at aavin parlor which is located at Elizhagam building... Bus and train are available to the memorial... after all the site seeing You can chill out beach...

Dr. MGR Memorial is one of the unique memorials situated near Marina Beach. It features the memorial of Dr. Ramchandra and Jayalalithaa.

This place is located on main road and open these days. Parking is located in nearby beach site Best is to take one auto/taxi on rent and go for city walk. The beaches are also at walkable distance. You can go inside and pay homage to MGR and Jaylalita

First time to Chennai and the first thing I wanted to do was visit MGR memorial. Reached here early morning. The construction for the new memorial was going on. Felt so lucky to be here seeing a legend so close. I have seen MGR only in television and now I am finally able to see him. As the construction is going on now 09-06-2019 I was not able to see Amma. I believe the construction will take another 6 months to finish.

Dr.M.G.R and Dr. Selvi Jayalalithaa both of them Samadhe same place we get chance to see clean and hygiene place to visit

Best place for family and friends.. Great MGR ..... Clean Best time to visit is in evening ..

Memorial built near marina beach. It has that aura of legendary people whose memorials are here . Its a good place to visit and to see how Dr. MGR and Jayalalithaa amma was loved by people.

One of the most visited spot in chennai . Located in Marina beach . M.G.R and Jayalalithaa Memorial Complex is a memorial complex built on the Marina beach in Chennai,

It is a modern tomb cum memorial with a beautiful park surrounding the premises with a variety of flowers. You won't feel like you've come to visit a tomb. The only drawback at this place is, the museum which houses MGR's belongings and photos are labelled only in Tamil. It would be helpful to visitors from other places to understand better if the English labels are added.

Really like this place. Because everyone visit marina definitely should go to see the Memorial places. It's amazing place to go back see their memories. I visit this place some years before but now this place is very amazing very crowdy place forever. Lots of people like this place to see their memories and took the photos.

The memorial is good but the surroundings including the beach gets too crowded in the evenings with litter all around the beach.Cops all around are helpful.There are shards of glass and other stuff strewn allover which is scary.Crampy shops and many unhygienic food stalls around.Adding to this is the auto menace, accosting tourists and demanding abnormally high fares

It's Very Very Wonderful. In the evening with lights it's amazing. Very Big Just Near Marina Beach of Chennai. You do not want more than an hour to visit this place. Near so many places to visit whenever you plan to visit Marina beach Chennai that time you will cover this place. I suggest visiting the time of the evening. Best place for photography or videos. It's historical place of Chennai.

The design for former chief minister MGR's memorial will be interesting. You can also visit another former CM memorial popularly called "Amma" by people. We can visit this before going to the beach. This would be a good place to spend time.

A walk around place and to pay homage to honourable Dr MGR and Smt Jayalalita. The site also has a library and a museum beside.

Opens only at 9 am in the morning. The area has a beautiful layout made from white marbles. Holds golden statues of mgr and Jayalalitha . It opens out to the beach.. A beautiful spot to visit during evenings ..During mornings ,the sun will be too hot.. There are places to sit in and around.

Everything was beautiful and of course free of cost. Nice place to visit with family, friends.. lighting was good

Dr MGR the former CM in Tamil Nadu.He is a great actor and director in flim.He also Former CM Jailalita"s husband.MGR memorial is the simbol of love.

MGR was a most popular Hero of Tamil Cinema. In the cine field no Indian Actor gained this much of popularity as MGR had during his prime time. He became the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu and was the best Chief Minister all over India till date.

I really love the place of Dr.MGR & Jayalalitha Amma Memorial Park as the architecture was awesome. If you want to avoid crowd, do visit on weekdays.

This memorial is dedicated to the late chief minister of Tamil Nadu, Dr. M.G.

Nothing much exciting for those who do not know MGR or who are from other parts of India. In the hustle and bustle of Chennai, the place is almost like an oasis and gives you a lot of peace of mind. It is quiet and well maintained and has been designed well. It is certainly worth a visit.

This is a fitting memorial for the late Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. MGR the late Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The memorial lies in the renound Marina beach. It speaks of the legacy of a great visionary in the history of Tamil Nadu. The monument is a highly artistic structure with 10 curved pillars surrounding a huge monolith. The mortal remains of the Thalaivar remains near the monolith. The place is overwhelmingly crowded at the evenings of the weekends. If you are keen on your health in the pandemic situation better visit on weekdays.

Dr MGR Memorial, very good place in Chennai Marina beach, this page inside honorable Ex chief minister Selvi Jayalalitha Memorial, Bharat Ratna Dr MGR, makkalal Nan makkalukkaga naan Rahul chief minister in Tamil Nadu Selvi Jayalalitha. So please visit

Lot of unorganised croud , no COVID protocol being followed , no mask no social distancing . Also it has no facilities for elderly person , no wheelchair available complete waste. Also fountain not maintained plants are not in good shape. Only thing I like is that lotus structure. Rest all is waste . No offense toward people resting is peace thr , but people who are responsible to maintain beautiful infrastructure is not doing thr job well.

A memorial place to visit. Maintained very well.

Annadhurai Ayya, Dr. MGR, Amma Jeyalalitha and Kalaignar M Karunanidhi... The Marina beach is now treasured with these legendary people memorials. It is developed well for the public visits and the atmosphere is maintained in good conditions.

Nice to look back into the history Well maintained and have good collection

Lovely heart place super dr.mgr amma JJ memorial

A neat and tidy place to visit.. The place stores the memory of Dr. Mgr's costumes and photos... Now it is also filled with ex cm ms. Jayalalitha memorial..

Memorial for former TN CM Dr.MGR. maintained very well.

Late chief minister Dr MGR's memorial is situated here beside the famous Marina beach. He was a good politician. There is also a museum nearby. Good place to bring your family on a holiday. Neatly maintained by Chennai corporation. I suggest visiting during mid afternoon and early evening as the crowd during that period of time is low.

MGR memorial is near by Marina beach and miss out. I like the architecture. Fully maintained with police security. In jayalaitha's memorial we can get good air.

Nice place to hangout for few hours. Well maintained. U can visit both Mgr Memorial and Jayalalitha memorial at the same venue. There is a Jayalalitha museum as well if u wanna know more about her.

Located in marina beach, MGR memorial is right on the beach road, exactly opposite to madras university. You get to experience the memorials of all the four stalwarts of Tamil Nadu politics at one single place. MGR and Jayalalita's memorials are at one place and the entrance is same for these two memorials. Anna and Karunanidhi's memorials are located at one place right next to the above two memorials and the entrance is same for these two memorials. Right next to these memorials, you have many street food refreshments available. You have auto rickshaw stand right in front of these memorials so commuting would not be a challenge. Timings for these memorials are from 830 AM - 730 PM and the entrance to these memorials is free.

Nice place near marina beach. Here time flows like water. Must visit this place if you come to Chennai

Nice place to visit if you are visiting at Marina beech then sure visit to see. In evening time looks beautiful in light. It gets close by 8 pm

A beautiful memorial for the Ex- Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G. Ramachandran located on the famous Marina Beach. The Memorial of Dr. J. Jeyalalitha another Charismatic Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is also located in the same premises. One can visit the place between 8.00/8.30 am and 8.00/8.30 pm. The entry to the memorial is free of charge. We visited the place at 9.00 pm and it was closed. We enjoyed the lovely Arch and the illumination.

It is maintained well,the fountains can be operated to make it look more appealing,There are lot of plastic bottles near the plants,that has to be cleaned,amma museum is not operating as of June 2023

Dr mgr, selvi Jayalalitha memorial , kalaingar karunadhi memorials present near the maina beach, they served as chief minister's of tamilnadu. They are know to be powerful, successful and known for winning hearts of people . Lot of Tamil people's emotional moments can be seen here. It's a heritage and honour to the powerful leaders ruled tamilnadu. It's a main place in the beach ⛱️. Commute is easy. People visiting can enjoy the beach near by. Jaihind

Very good place to go in evening for the refreshment. There is Marina Beach located just behind this memorial. Enjoy with your family or partener.👍🏽

With all due respect I have to tell that literally here is nothing other than that memorial. The architecture is really good but other than that there is not a single interesting factor which van attract tourists. But the good thing is that it is situated just beside the Marina Beach, so if you wish you can visit a glance while returning from the beach.

Very neatly maintained place nearby bay of bengal, which was attracted by all people's &touristers.Behind this memorial Chief ministerJayalalita's memorial also builted.

MGR Memorial in Chennai is a wonderful place to visit. The serene atmosphere and well-maintained surroundings make it a peaceful spot. The memorial beautifully honors the life of M.G. Ramachandran, a beloved leader and actor. Visitors can learn about his legacy through informative displays and exhibits. Overall, MGR Memorial is a great destination for those interested in history and culture.
