Tamil Nadu is the land of the Tamils and is widely known for its temples, its architecture, its food – much spicier than that of North India – its traditional dances and its Carnatic music. During the Middle Ages, Tamil Nadu was a great power under the rule of the Chola and Chera kingdoms. The area is very notable at the tourism level, no doubt, for its magnificent temples and the dedication profession that Tamils exercise to their gods and in most cases they even allow you access to the sacred areas in their blessed enclosures. , something unusual in other parts of the country.
For a week I traveled from temple to temple in this part of India. It is easily accessible using public transport, especially trains and buses.

As you know, ingenuity, imagination and good humor help a lot when visiting less popular destinations.
