Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu is a living museum where cultures and traditions that developed over 2,000 years ago still flourish. Perhaps more than any other Indian state, Tamil Nadu displays not only the great antiquity of its culture, but also the viability - even the necessity - of this culture in today's rapidly changing society.

The Dravidian culture of Tamil Nadu is as ancient and complex as any the world has known. Among the great dynasties of the south that held sway here, the Chola kings are synonymous with power and compassion, magnificent temples and the delicate bronze images of their deities.
