| This Indian state is throbbing with variety.
There's a whole range of things to do and see. Ancient temples, a roaring amount of
wildlife, frothy beaches, and urban discos; you'll find all this here and more! From
Levi’s to Lungis (sarongs for men), Klein to Kanjeevarams (heavy silk with gold
thread) - the entire range will present itself to you. Traditionally conservative,
Tamilian society is acknowledged to be in a phase of change. |

As always in India, the keyword here
too seems to be 'variety’. In flavour, taste and sights the south is its own treat,
quite different from the north. Tamil Nadu is a rewarding experience for any visitor;
she’ll flood your senses with her myriad scents and alluring riches and come to your
mind long after you’re home, pottering in the kitchen or sitting down to a mug of
‘hot filter coffee’! |
