Tamil Nadu has a history that dates back to a thousand or more years. It is a land of a heady combination of traditions and culture which until now continue to live in harmony.
The state is the cradle of the Dravidian culture and tradition and has long been a leader of peace and knowledge.
Tamil Nadu is referred to as the “Land of Temples” for housing more than 30,000 temples. Each temple has its own story of religious, artistic and cultural accomplishment and specialty.
These temples are only part of the many tourist attractions of the state. Another spot that tourists might want to explore in the state is the beaches. The place has a long coastline stretching nearly 1000 kilometers.
One of the frequently visited spot is the island of Sri Padaparai, associated with the goddess Parvati. It is known as the Vivekanada Memorial at the Southern tip of India.
Traditions would have it that the philosopher Vivekanada spent time in this place meditating on India's plight and the nature of Hinduism before going to the World Parliament of Religions Conference in Chicago where he became famous.
